I'm trying to figure out if PHARMCHEK sweat patches check for alcohol. I do know that they have been evaluating whether it works or not but I can't find anything that says it actually checks for it. This reference has been sited but it's all that I can find.

Phillips and M.H. McAloon, “A sweat-patch test for alcohol consumption: Evaluation in continuous and episodic drinkers,” Alcohol Clin Exp Res, 4(1980)391-395.

Go to the actual pharmchem drug patch website. The patch only screens for a 5 panel meaning it test for 5 types of drugs which are: marijuana, amphetamines, opiates, cocaine, and pcp. I've had the drug patch on for 4 months and i've drank alcohol while on it, they do not test for alcohol.

I mean f*** I honestly did the hair dryer thing and all f***ing cleaning skin and kept the patch off till 3 days before delivering it and cleaned it as well as my skin; still dirty! F*** that thing! But your cool with the booz.

Yes please research the breakdown of the drug all the way down the metabolites. That's what the tests test for, the byproduct of the drug. I did for years in prison and 3 years probation and just got off about a year ago. That s*** sucks. State paper ain't s***. The feds get you. Don't take the chance, if you build a good relationship with your probation officer they start to leave you alone.

Oh ya the technician at Pharm Tech is going to tell you yes. But they are not going to mention how much more cost to test for alcohol most the time they will not !!!! and now that I think about it they clean the excess adhesive off with alcohol first but bottom line is don't worry about alcohol in this one usually just worry about blowing and it's very unlikely in your urine even that cost a lot more to get that strong of a test

That is a completely different kind of alcohol, they use isopropyl alcohol it is ethanol that is tested for.
