dc.description.abstractHome-made alcohol-related deaths are a significant public health issue which is often overlooked. To date, approxi-mately 30 people have died following the consumption of home brewed alcoholic beverages in Botswana. The process of brewing such alcoholic beverages remains unmonitored and makes it difficult to pinpoint the cause of these deaths. Ethanol content in these beverages is thought to be high and therefore contributing towards the deaths. The aim of this research was to develop and validate a method for the quantification of ethanol in the different types of home-brewed alcoholic drinks of Botswana.en_US
