Do you drink too much? Low normal or high consumption – how much is too much? Are you worried that your alcohol consumption is too high? Then you are not alone, welcome to book our PEth test to get an objective assessment of your consumption. The test analyzes phosphatidylethanol (PEth) which is an alcohol marker that identifies long-term alcohol consumption. A single intoxication does not produce a significant increase in the PEth concentration in the blood, but with regular consumption of alcohol, the PEth value will gradually increase.

The alcohol consumption test is recommended if you want to gain insight into your alcohol consumption and how it can affect your health. The Peth test is also for you who want to follow how your values change when you change your alcohol habits. Research has shown that over 40 different disease states can be related to alcohol consumption and for many diseases alcohol is a contributing cause of the disease.

In case of regular alcohol intake, elevated values of PEth are detected, which can be related to how much alcohol you have consumed. The PEth test is therefore recommended for those who are interested in seeing if your current alcohol consumption gives elevated values.

Based on this value, we can therefore conclude whether your alcohol intake can be considered harmful. In case of regular alcohol consumption in large quantities, elevated values may indicate that you are in the risk zone. The test acts as a warning bell and signals the need to change alcohol habits.

Can an Elevated PEth Test Affect Your Driver’s License?

The Swedish Transport Agency (Transportstyrelsen) does not stipulate that a single alcohol test, such as PEth, can in itself serve as the basis for revoking a driver’s license. Blood tests are only taken when a physician considers them medically justified, for example during the evaluation of alcohol-related health problems or suspected alcohol dependence.

As of January 2026, an individual laboratory result is not used as an independent basis for driver’s license decisions. An elevated PEth value alone therefore cannot determine whether a driver’s license should be revoked. Instead, any driver’s license cases are based on an overall medical and clinical assessment in which several factors are taken into account.

Alcohol markers are used to assess alcohol consumption over time and identify any long-term effects of alcohol on the body. CDT and PEth are the most widely used biomarkers to analyze alcohol intake. CDT can detect regular and high alcohol consumption over several weeks, while PEth provides a more sensitive and specific picture of alcohol consumption over the past few weeks.

PET
Phosphatidylethanol (PEth)
PEth (phosphatidylethanol) is a metabolite of alcohol in the form of a membrane-bound phospholipid, which acts as a direct and specific marker of alcohol intake during the last days and weeks.

PEth can identify alcohol consumption up to 2–6 weeks back in time, depending on consumption patterns, the concentration and half-life are affected individually.

No, a single drink of alcohol does not significantly increase PEth. Regular consumption is required for the values ​​to increase.

After you stop drinking, PEth slowly decreases. It usually takes 2–4 weeks for the values ​​to become low or non-existent, depending on previous consumption.
