Your question can probably be best answered by Dr. Bruce Chien, an AME who specializes in difficult aeromedical certifications. He no longer visits here, but you can reach him either on the AOPA Forums or his web site.

I'm assuming that he means a PEth test. PEth is a chemical found in the blood of heavy or chronic drinkers. The PEth test tests for PEth -- say that real fast three times -- which can be detected in the blood for several weeks following a binge.
