When drawing blood for an alcohol test, it's important to avoid using alcohol-based antiseptics, as they can contaminate the sample and affect the results. Instead, a non-alcohol antiseptic, such as chlorhexidine or iodine-based solutions, should be used to cleanse the skin prior to the blood draw. This helps ensure that the test results accurately reflect the individual's blood alcohol concentration. Always follow specific protocols and guidelines set by your laboratory or institution.

Listerine strips typically contain a small amount of alcohol, usually around 3-4%, which is primarily used as an antiseptic.

The rapid dissolution and small quantity consumed mean that any alcohol absorbed is minimal and unlikely to have a noticeable effect. Therefore, using Listerine strips should not result in elevated alcohol levels in the blood.
