Answer 1

Phosphatidylethanol (PEth) and Testing: Quick Overview

What is PEth?

1. A molecule formed only when you consume alcohol.
2. Made inside your red blood cells by combining phosphatidylcholine and ethanol.

Why is PEth tested?

1. It shows alcohol consumption over the past 2–4 weeks.
2. Highly specific and sensitive marker for drinking.

Can you mask or chemically alter PEth?

1. No. PEth forms inside cells and can’t be broken down or hidden by taking anything.
2. No known safe supplements or chemicals can clear or change it quickly.

Best way to pass a PEth test:

1. Stop drinking alcohol well before the test.
2. Let your body naturally clear the PEth over time.
