Aim: In cases involving the hip-flask defence, an estimation of the time of alcohol intake is important. Both the ratio between ethanol in blood (BAC) and urine (UAC) and the concentrations of the non-oxidative ethanol metabolites ethyl glucuronide (EtG) and ethyl sulphate (EtS) are used as objective measures to investigate the time of last intake. ................
