Hair analysis to assess alcohol consumption

At ChemTox, we specialize in hair analysis to assess alcohol consumption. This method allows us to trace a true retrospective calendar of alcohol consumption over several months. Indeed, hair captures and preserves traces of chemical substances, thus providing an accurate picture of consumption habits, whether moderate or excessive.

A RIGOROUS PROCESS

Understanding Hair Alcohol Analysis

Hair alcohol analysis is a rigorous process that allows not only to determine the presence of alcohol in the body, but also to quantify its consumption. This technique is based on the fact that ethanol, the main substance present in alcoholic beverages, is incorporated into the structure of the hair as it grows.


Thus, by taking a hair sample, it is possible to examine the chemical composition over a period of up to 6 months.

how does it work?

A retrospective of alcohol consumption

Hair analysis provides a retrospective of alcohol consumption, allowing long-term assessment of habits. This is particularly useful in a variety of situations, including legal proceedings or requests for the return of a driving license after an alcohol-related offense. By providing a clear and accurate view of consumption history, this method strengthens the credibility of the information provided by the consumer.

Excessive consumption and its implications

Excessive alcohol consumption is a major public health issue. It can have serious consequences, both on physical and mental health, but also on social and professional life. Hair analysis can play a key role in the early detection of these behaviors. By identifying alcohol levels over prolonged periods, we can help individuals become aware of their consumption and consider appropriate solutions.

Reliable evidence in child custody disputes

In child custody disputes, the issue of a parent's use of alcohol or psychoactive substances can be a major issue for the safety and well-being of the child. Hair analysis is a reliable and objective method to establish or rule out the use of these substances over an extended period of time.


Unlike urine or blood screening tests, which can only detect consumption over a short period of time, hair analysis can trace consumption history over several months, thanks to continuous hair growth. This method can detect the presence of alcohol or drug residues in hair keratin, thus providing a detailed and precise analysis.

    In cases of suspected excessive consumption of alcohol or other psychoactive substances, hair analysis can thus be used to support a party's arguments, by objectively demonstrating whether a parent has actually consumed these substances. In this way, it provides judges and lawyers with tangible evidence to inform child custody decisions, thus ensuring the protection of children and respect for their rights.

Hair testing: a rigorous process

The hair test at ChemTox follows a precise protocol. After taking a hair sample, our team subjects it to a series of analyses using cutting-edge technologies. Liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry is one of our preferred methods, guaranteeing reliable and accurate results. This process not only detects the presence of alcohol, but also quantifies consumption levels, thus providing a complete view of the subject's habits.

Benefits of Hair Analysis

Hair analysis has several advantages over other detection methods, such as blood or urine tests. First, hair allows for a true retrospective timeline, capable of tracing alcohol consumption over an extended period of time. Furthermore, unlike urine tests, which only measure recent consumption, hair analysis offers a quantitative historical perspective that is essential in forensic or medical contexts.
