    Abstract:
    A total of 23 wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) were sampled in 17 Spanish cities for seven days in Spring of 2022 to collect composite (24-h) samples. Approximately 20% of the Spanish population was sampled. Using ethyl sulfate (EtS) as a biomarker, it was possible to calculate alcohol consumption from the measurement of its concentration in the wastewater samples. For this purpose, an analytical method based on ion-pair reversed-phase liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used.
