The presence of alcohol in the urine, typically resulting from recent alcohol consumption or in rare cases from metabolic disorders.
Compound of 'alcohol' (Arabic) and '-uria' (from Greek ouron, meaning urine). This medical term emerged in the 19th century as diagnostic testing developed.
Alcoholuria is just one example of the '-uria' suffix that doctors use to describe things found in urine — like 'glycosuria' (sugar in urine) or 'ketonuria' (ketones in urine) — it's how they talk about what your body is filtering out.
