Re: Difference in alcohols

[Guest guest]

EtG is a metabolic product of ethyl alcohol formed in the liver. Other

alcohols are not metabolized to EtG. The ethyl alcohol that reaches your

liver was either from an exogenous source or was formed endogenously in

the GI tract. In evaluating exogenous sources, you need to look at any

way EtOH could be absorbed into the bloodstream--via GI tract (foods or

liquids; oral medications), percutaneous absorption

(hygiene/beauty/cleaning products absorbed through the skin), mucus

membranes (mouthwashes/rinses; throat sprays; Listerine or Altoid breath

strips), or inhalation (asthma inhalers; aerosolized beauty products

like hairspray or perfume; aerosolized cleaning products like Lysol,

Windex, or carpet cleaners; aerosolized hygiene products like Purell;

fuel containing ethanol; potentially, any ethanol-containing product

that is breathed into the lungs). There are no studies on how any of

these products affect EtG levels. Some deli meats, particularly salami,

contains white wine. Many fresh fruit juices along with overripe fruits

contain some alcohol which forms during fermentation. Other than that,

read all labels carefully.
