A Study Using Body Fluids to Determine Blood Alcohol

Abstract

A study of the alcohol concentration in post mortem samples of blood, bile, vitreous humor, and urine was conducted over a 2-yr period. The results of this study are submitted with data averages, standard deviations, and coefficients of variation. The blood alcohol/body fluid ratio can provide valuable information for the interpretation of alcohol consumption and equilibrium. The other body fluids can also provide this information when no blood sample is available.
