A test kit detects presence of ethanol alcohol in human breast milk. The test kit includes an alcohol oxidase reactive in the presence of ethanol alcohol in breast milk and oxygen, an indicator having a visible color when not subjected to oxidizing agent, in sufficient amount for visible observance, and a peroxidase reactive in the presence of acetaldehyde and peroxide, to yield oxidizing agent, in sufficient amount to induce change to the visible color of the hydrogen donor indicator. The test kit is a sealed pack containing a test strip. The test strip is for one-time use, and disposable after testing. The test strip is handled by a tester, typically a breast-feeding mother. The mother contacts her breast milk lactate with testing portion of the test strip. The testing portion selectively reacts to alcohol, and not other components of breast milk. A reactive agent of the testing portion of the test strip changes color in the presence of alcohol. The mother observes the result to determine if there is presence of alcohol in the breast milk.
