Alcohol Testing Techniques in U.S

In the United States, alcoholism or alcohol abuse is associated with half the automobile fatalities and almost half of the industrial accidents. As a result of this, there is a growing demand for more effective alcohol testing, screening and detection methods in the American workplace. Factually, there are 5 different types of alcohol tests: urine tests for alcohol, blood alcohol tests, alcohol breathalyzer tests, saliva alcohol tests, and hair alcohol tests.

Interestingly, hair alcohol testing is a relatively new development. Until 2008, hair tests could not detect alcohol and were only used for detection of drugs other than alcohol. And since hair tests can accurately and reliably identify an individual's blood alcohol level, it would appear that the hair test would become more popular in the alcohol and drug testing methodologies in the coming days.
