Human consumption of alcoholic beverages emerged approximately 8,000 years ago, having its first evidence in northern China. Since then, when used in doses above what is allowed, it has become one of the main causes of homicides, traffic accidents, suicides, drowning, falls, intoxications and poisonings. Toxicological analyzes are responsible for detecting and quantifying the presence of ethanol in the body. It acts in conjunction with the result found at necropsy, being able to define the cause of death. The methodology used in this work was the integrative review. The purpose of the selection was to observe, count, describe and compare the biological matrices used in the analysis of ethanol in cadavers. One of the current problems is the search for biological matrixes for toxicological studies; the type of sample depends on what is intended to be observed and the ease of collection. On June 18, 1959, the Instituto de Medicina Legal Leonídio Ribeiro (IML) was officially created in Brasília. The biological matrices most used by them in ethanol toxicological analyzes are blood and urine, which use qualitative techniques (detected or not detected). Over the years, new matrices were discovered, making the analyzes increasingly accurate and reliable. Even with the emergence of new matrices such as bile, synovial fluid, bone marrow, putative blisters, analyzes should never be done using only one of them, it is necessary to correlate the results in order to have a reliable result.
