Abstract

Alcohol, or chemically ethanol, is the most common drug used in the community. It is also the most abused and is by far the most common drug associated with forensic matters. Consequently, it is the most common substance analyzed by laboratories engaged in such activities. The interpretation of these results is, therefore, an important task for any laboratory and associated experts engaged by the courts.
