Every local authority is being sent a good practice guide to help them tackle underage drinking.

Policies involving police,trading standards, youth and childrens services have been developed.

Additional funding is also being targeted at youth crime action plan areas to fund police enforcement and detection, with many police forces and councils now being funded for the purchase of instant alcohol detection tests, simple dip tests which can be used to detect alcohol disguised in other liquids on the streets. Alcohol dip tests with IVDD saliva capability can also then test a saliva sample to indicate the actual blood alcohol concentration.

Breath tests for alcohol are widely available and work to set cut off levels, These are 0.02%BAC,(HSE occupational cut off) 0.05%BAC(European driving level) and 0.08%BAC (UK drive prosecution level)

The breathalyzer test kits are used once and then disposed into normal waste services.

Breath alcohol tests are available in packs of 3 and 6 and 20 tests. no specialist training is required to use the tests as a simple colour change confirms if the alcohol level is below the cutt off level or above it, making result interpretation simple.

Alcohol testing strips are a quick and easy way to test if a fluid contains alcohol.

Designed originally to test saliva for the presence of alcohol, they can also be used to test any fluid for the presence of alcohol.

One particularly good use has been the testing of soft drinks for the presence of alcohol. Police forces across the country have been using alcohol test strips for this purpose now for several years, with excellent results. They can also be used at youth clubs, discos etc.

The alcohol test strips are individually foil wrapped and can easily be carried in a pocket. The strips are very simple & easy  to use . Simply dip the alcohol test strip into the liquid that is being tested and a pad on the strip changes colour if alcohol is present.
