Will stearyl or cetyl alcohol be detected by the scram braclet as consuption?
Stearyl alcohol and cetyl alcohol are both fatty alcohols that are commonly used in personal care products such as lotions, creams, and hair conditioners. They are not known to be intoxicating or to cause any adverse effects when consumed in small amounts. Therefore, it is unlikely that stearyl or cetyl alcohol would be detected by a SCRAM bracelet as consumption.
The SCRAM bracelet is a transdermal alcohol monitoring device that is used to monitor individuals who are on probation or parole for alcohol-related offenses. The device measures the amount of alcohol in a person's sweat and can detect even small amounts of alcohol consumption. However, the SCRAM bracelet is not able to detect all types of substances, and it is specifically designed to detect ethyl alcohol (ethanol), which is the type of alcohol that is found in alcoholic beverages.
Stearyl alcohol and cetyl alcohol are not ethyl alcohol, and they do not produce the same effects as ethyl alcohol when consumed. Therefore, it is unlikely that they would be detected by the SCRAM bracelet. However, it is important to note that some personal care products may contain other ingredients that could potentially be detected by the SCRAM bracelet, so it is always best to avoid using any personal care products that contain alcohol while wearing a SCRAM bracelet.
