Abstract

The comparative levels of indigenous and foreign alcoholic beverages in the urine of 24 University students after
drinking a cup or shot of the beverages have been reported. The Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy was used
for the analysis. From the results, the percentage content of alcohol (%v/v) in burukutu, palmwine, beer, Ogogoro, gin
and ethanol (standard) were 3.2, 6.8, 7.0, 40.0, 41.0 and 96.0 respectively. Similarly, the average levels of alcoholic
beverages in the urine (mg/dL) of the students were 120, 200, 210, 220 and 230mg/dL respectively. In conclusion,
the present work has shown that there is a relationship between the levels of alcohol consumed and those excreted.
Secondly, the study has provided a scientific basis that some of our local beverages such as palmwine, and ogogoro
can serve as good substitutes for some of the foreign beverages such as beer and gin respectively.
