Abstract :
This paper examines the bio-impedance of the human body, and considers the impact of alcohol intake on said bio-impedance. We examine the feasibility of alcohol intake detection via the bio-impedance modulation created by alcohol intake. We successfully capture the pulsation effect appearing in the artery from bio-impedance variation. It is demonstrated that the bio-impedance method has great potential in detecting alcohol intake.
