ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method of measuring the level of ethanol in a body fluid includes the step of providing a predetermined volume of body fluid, oxidizing ethanol in the body fluid by the action of an alcohol oxidase in a suitable buffer in the presence of excess molecular oxygen and measuring the rate of oxygen consum- ption, the oxidation taking place in the presence of an agent adapted to suppress the formation of oxygen by peroxide decom- position. Further, a kit for use in the above method comprises (i) a container containing an alcohol oxidase in a suitable buffer, the activity of the oxidase being in the range 1 to 1000 units (as hereindefined) per ml; and (ii) a container containing the agent adapted to suppress the formation of oxygen by peroxide decomposition in a suitable buffer.
