Someone just has to buy a few boxes of these things and test them out.
Mom can drink a glass of wine or a can of beer. 
Probably should be a mom of "average" height/weight, normal BMI.
At the standard Tmax time for alcohol, pump 2 bottles of milk, at least one
ounce (30 ml) each.
Do test strips immediately, then place one bottle on the counter at room
temp and one in the refrigerator.
Repeat the test every 30 minutes for 5 alcohol half lives.
What do you think the test will show? Never know till you try.

breastmilk

> It is a chem. Strip, like what is used to test urine or pools.  If it
