Forensic alcohol analysis is without question
the most frequently performed of all analyses in forensic laboratories,
and likewise is the most commonly used laboratory result in courts
of law. Alcohol-related litigation most frequently pertains to
arrests of drinking drivers, but also includes industrial accidents
as well as other public transport accidents.
Medical-Legal
Aspects of Alcohol, now in its fourth edition, has been a
classic text on the forensic science of alcohol for the last fifteen
years. The new edition has been revised and updated and includes
a new chapter dealing with alcohol's effects on the driver written
by Dr. Herbert Moskowitz, a leading authority in this field. Chapters
on the subject of pharmacology and toxicology, disposition of
alcohol in the body, psychomotor performance, test procedures,
postmortem testing, workplace testing specimen handling, quality
assurance in the laboratory and legal aspects have been revised
and updated to provide current information. The authors include
some of the foremost scientists in the field of alcohol research
in the world.

Alcohol and the law
Biochemistry and physiology of alcohol
Blood, urine, and other fluid and tissue specimens for alcohol
