The invention relates to the technical field of clinical detection, in particular to a detection 
reagent for the content of 
alcohol in 
saliva. The invention discloses the detection 
reagent for the content of the 
alcohol in the 
saliva, which is characterized in that 1.25 to 0.5U of 
alcohol dehydrogenase, 0.05 to 0.2mg of coenzyme NAD and 0.025 to 0.2mg of 
tetrazolium salt are loaded and contained in a 
solid phase or semi-
solid phase carrier with the area of 5.0*5.0mm<2>. The detection 
reagent for the content of the alcohol in the 
saliva has high specificity, high sensitivity, and quick reaction, does not contain poisonous substances, can detect orally, is safe and reliable, shows a result without a composite sensor host, can directly contrast readings with a colorimetric card, has better 
thermal stability, and can be preserved for 2 years at 
room temperature. The reagent has the advantages of good repetitiveness of determination results, convenient carrying, simple preparation technology, low cost, easy industry promotion and convenient 
field detection, and can be used for the detection of 
drunk drivers and taken as a simple tool for postmortem examination of judicial doctors.
