Elimination of EtG and EtS between two consecutive blood samples in apprehended drivers
The t₁/₂ values for EtG and EtS in apprehended drivers are comparable to those reported in experimental studies. The findings contribute to forensic alcohol assessments and legal expert reports. Additional research is needed to investigate EtG and EtS elimination kinetics in real-life impaired driving scenarios.
