Test strips for alcohol in breast milk??

Anyone ever use these? I found them at babies r us and bought them but haven't used them yet. Since giving birth my tolerance is so low I feel almost drunk from just 2 glasses of wine and am thinking I should start using them rather than not being positive if I am sober enough to feed her or keep my pumped milk...
Hope I dont sound like an alcoholic!!!

I bought them - and my thought is...if you need to test your BM to see if there is too much alcohol in it, then there probably is! So I have a box of them which I used once, and I feel like I wasted my money - it's like drinking and driving.....you know when you've had too much.....the best time to have a drink is right after you feed your DC, that way for the next feeding, the alcohol is almost gone. Alcohol in BM is just like in your bloodstream.

I used them and found them to be very helpful. whether you had a little or a lot it helps you so you know not to waste good breast milk. There were times when I thought i would have to dump and i tested and i was fine.
