What Are Saliva Alcohol Test Strips?
These test strips help you check if there is alcohol in your saliva. They are quick and easy to use. The strips only show recent alcohol use when alcohol is still in your blood above the level the test can find.
If you want to check for alcohol use over the last 72 hours (3 days), you would need to use ETG alcohol test strips instead. These test for signs of alcohol in urine.
The test strips can quickly find even small amounts of alcohol in saliva samples. You can also use these strips to test for alcohol in any clear liquid.

Facts About Alcohol Testing
- Saliva tests only show current alcohol in your system
- The legal UK driving limit is 80 mg/100ml

Why Test For Alcohol?
Alcohol can:
