Alcohol is among the highest contributing factors to health issues, domestic violence, family breakdown, and workplace problems. Unfortunately, what starts as everyday drinking advances into addiction over time. Here comes the role of alcoholism testing. An alcohol detection test is an easy and convenient way to ensure that loved ones and family members are free from alcohol abuse.

Signs of Alcohol Abuse

Signs of alcohol abuse are mentioned below:

• Nausea, insomnia, and sweating when a person does not drink
• Drinking alcohol daily and trying to hide it
• Fighting with family & friends about drinking
• Interference with college/school, work, and other duties or responsibilities
• Engaging in risky behavior after consuming alcohol, like swimming, fighting, driving, etc.

Regardless of the severity of alcohol intake, it is often hard for anybody who suffers from this condition to realize they have a problem. Alcoholism test services can help the person determine the frequency, history, and alcohol consumption patterns.

Types of Alcoholism Tests

The following are the two types of alcohol detection tests

• Nail Alcohol Testing

Hair Alcohol Testing

Hair alcohol testing is a kind of alcohol detection test. It may be the solution for parents and dear ones who doubt their beloved ones may be involved in alcoholism. The body breaks down alcohol into two kinds of metabolites: Fatty acid thy ester, & ethyl glucuronide (EtG). In addition, Ethyl Palmitate (EtPa) serves as the basis of hair alcoholism testing. These metabolites are known as Alcohol Biomarkers and are absorbed into the hair strands through different routes. The level of these alcohol biomarkers in the hair symbolizes the period of alcohol consumption in a person and serves as the foundation for alcohol testing

Nail Alcohol Testing

In the liver, ethanol is converted to ethyl glucuronide and reaches the nails through the bloodstream, mainly through the nail bed capillaries. Nail keratin being four times thicker will frequently capture and retain alcohol biomarkers for a long period. Therefore, nail alcohol testing is also done by analyzing ethyl glucuronide. It is a direct biomarker because it's produced when alcohol is metabolized in the body. In contrast to direct biomarkers such as EtPa and EtG, indirect biomarkers like aspartate aminotransferase, carbohydrate-deficient transferrin, etc., can measure the impact of alcohol consumption on health.

Samples Collection for Hair & Nail Alcohol Testing

For hair alcohol testing, around 200 hair strands are required. A minimum 3-centimeter section is taken from the nearest of the scalp for the EtPa & EtG tests. Depending upon the length of the hair strands, this test can give an overview of excessive alcohol consumption in an individual for 3-6 months. In nail alcohol tests, clipping of the nails should be as close to the nail bed as possible. If the length of the nail is 5 mm, one nail clipping can suffice for the test. When the nail size is short, it is better to take nail clippings of 10 mg (approx.) for a better result. One can use fingernails or toenails, but never a mixture of both.
