This test detects alcohol consumption above 60 grams/day, which means more than 6 beers per day for the average person.This test detects Fatty Acid Esters produced by alcohol consumption.It is useful for:(1) Identifying persons who are not heavy drinkers;(2) Proving a parent is fit to have custody of children;(3) Proving someone does not have an alcohol problem and is fit for a leadership or a safety sensitive job;(4) Demonstrating someone is long-term abstinent from heavy drinking.The markers of excessive drinking appear when alcohol is consumed regularly in excess of social drinking patterns. The test sensitivity for this test allows us to report that a person does not have a pattern of regular excessive drinking, commonly called “alcohol abuse.”It takes a week or more for the marker to appear in the hair on the scalp. We take the first 6 to 12 centimeters of hair when the hair is of sufficient length. That relates to a period of around 3 to 6 months. We require at least 100 mg of hair. That is a cut tuft of hair a bit wider than the size of a pencil diameter and at least 1-1/2 inches in length. The hair can be taken from more than one location on the head, and the sampling site used will be unnoticeable after the hair is collected.We provide complete instructions for collectors. Collectors should be trained medical or legal personnel. The collection is an important part of the process and needs to be done under strict chain of custody conditions for the sample to be valid.The report will include the identity details for the sample, and the result for the test. If the results are negative, the test will say so, i.e., the person whose hair sample was tested does not appear to have a pattern of frequent, heavy drinking.
