Randomized Controlled Trial
The breathtaking truth about breath alcohol readings of zero.
Addictive Behaviors 2017 July
INTRODUCTION: It has been postulated that the hangover state starts when breath alcohol concentration is zero.
METHODS: Data from 2 studies that assessed ethanol in breath, blood and urine were compared.
RESULTS: The data revealed that ethanol may still be present in the blood and urine during the hangover state, despite breath analyser readings of zero.
DISCUSSION: As ethanol is still present in the body despite zero breath alcohol readings, the current consensus to postpone cognitive testing in hangover studies until breath alcohol concentration is zero should be reconsidered.
