USP ethanol is a very pure form of un-denatured alcohol used for dissolving medications. If you see something labeled "elixir" this is the solvent.

And seriously, dude, USP ethanol is a ripoff if you're drinking it, because Everclear is pretty much the same stuff at half the price. (The one guy I know who has consumed USP ethanol says it makes the best screwdrivers you'll ever taste. I'll take his word for it. 'Course, he's been in AA for the last 35 years and this stuff put him there...)

Since USP ethanol is just overpriced Everclear, it can be detected in urine or with a breathalyzer. It won't throw "false results"--it will throw true positives because it's the same thing as Everclear.

How do you interpret etg test results?

Ethyl glucuronide (EtG) is a metabolite of alcohol that can be detected in urine tests for an extended period (up to 80 hours) after alcohol consumption. Positive EtG test results indicate recent alcohol consumption, even if no alcohol is currently present in the individual's system. It is important to consider any potential sources of false positives or confounding factors, such as non-alcoholic substances containing ethanol.

Serum ethanol conversion to blood alcohol concentration?

The concentration of ethanol in serum is approximately equal to the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) because serum and blood have similar ethanol levels. To convert serum ethanol concentration to BAC, simply use the serum ethanol concentration as the BAC value. For example, if the serum ethanol concentration is 100 mg/dL, then the BAC would also be considered as 100 mg/dL.

Is ethanol more polar than ethylene glycol?

Ethylene glycol is more polar than ethanol - a rough measure of polarity is given by the dielectric constant. For example, water is 80, ethylene glycol 37, and ethanol 24.3. Water is the most polar, followed by ethylene glycol and ethanol. Another way to think about it is that ethanol has one alcohol group, and ethylene glycol has two, so it is more polar.
