An Alcohol Blood Test measures the amount of ethanol in your blood right now. It may also be called a BAC test, ethanol level, or ETOH blood test. You can book this test at participating labs on LabFinder and choose a time that fits your day.
This test, also known as a blood alcohol concentration test or ethanol level, shows how much alcohol is in your bloodstream at the time of the blood draw. It helps check for recent drinking and can support medical care or legal needs.
Common reasons: check for intoxication after an accident or sudden illness, pre surgery or before certain treatments, job or school testing rules, court or program requirements, or to guide care in the ER when there is confusion, slurred speech, or unusual behavior.
You will check in, show a photo ID if required, and confirm the order. A staff member cleans your arm and draws a small tube of blood from a vein. Pressure and a bandage are placed on the site. Most visits take about 15 to 30 minutes from check in to finish.
Yes, this is a quick, routine blood draw and is considered very safe. You might feel a quick pinch, notice a small bruise, or feel a little lightheaded for a moment afterward, but those effects usually fade quickly. Be sure to tell the staff if you take blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, or if you have fainted during blood draws before. They will take extra care to keep you comfortable.
Simple prep: bring a photo ID and any forms if testing is for work, school, or legal reasons. Ask the lab if fasting is needed for any add on tests. Drink water so your veins are easy to find. Do not use mouthwash or hand products with alcohol right before your visit if a program asks you to avoid them. Follow any instructions from your doctor or the center and bring prior results if you have them.
Possible alcohol intoxication, alcohol poisoning, sudden confusion or fainting, injuries after a crash or fall, monitoring during recovery programs, and readiness for surgery or certain medicines. Results are interpreted in context. Your doctor will review your numbers with your history and symptoms before planning any next steps.
