Alcohol can be measured in the blood, urine, breath, or saliva. Ethanol (also called ethyl alcohol or alcohol) is the intoxicating ingredient in alcoholic beverages such as beer, wines and spirits. While small amounts of alcohol can cause excitement, relaxation, and decreased inhibition, it can also cause poor judgment and impaired eye-hand coordination; large amounts in a relatively short period of time can cause rapid alcohol poisoning with confusion, slow breathing, coma, and even death. Consuming large quantities of alcohol over a long period of time can lead to alcoholism, permanent liver damage, cardiovascular problems, depression and anxiety.
