Brief Answer: results are not reported in percentages. Detailed Answer: Hi and thanks for following up with me. These results are not reported as percentages but rather in mg/dl. You had undetectable levels and it would in no way suggest alcohol intake prior to testing. If there is something specific about this that you want to know, please ask as a specific question. Thanks. Dr. Ditah, D.
