Abstract

The swabbing of the arm with ethanol before venepuncture significantly raised the apparent blood ethanol concentration, when compared to the unswabbed arm. In contrast, when isopropanol was substituted for ethanol in these studies, no change in the blood ethanol concentration was determined.
