A rapid and simple method for the determination of ethyl alcohol in body fluids has been developed which requires nO complicated apparatus or special skill, and is applicable alike to the clinical determination of alcoholic intoxication and to experimental studies on this compound.
The method consists of the distillation of the alcohol in vacuo into a dichromate-sulphuric acid oxidizing mixture, with iodometric determination of the amount of alcohol oxidized.
The accuracy of the method is such that for specimens containing one milligram of alcohol or more the probable error does not exceed 1.5 per cent.
