[Tribal-drug-courts] Antifreeze

[Cary, Paul L.]

Hello Judge:


Carolyn Hardin has forwarded your email inquiry to me for a response.


Indeed, the consumption of ethylene glycol is extremely dangerous (life-threatening).  And, the medical literature sites many cases where ethylene glycol has been consumed by alcoholics as substitute for drinking alcohol (ethanol).


Ethylene glycol will not be detected by routine ethanol testing.


Please get back to me with follow-up concerns.


PLC

Good afternoon;

Has anyone faced an allegation of someone using antifreeze (ethylene glycol) as an intoxicant?  Would it even register on an alcohol (ethanol) test?  I have done some basic google research and apparently it has been known to have been used by alcoholics because it can produce a high similar to alcohol, even though it is extremely dangerous.  Thanks.
