Breathalizer
Are you looking for a breathalizer to avoid a DWI (driving while intoxicated)? Would you find it helpful to have access to an alcohol breathalizer when you go out? If so, you have many alcohol breathalyzers from which to choose. Keychain, pocket, coin-operated, or professional ones are all options.
A pocket breathalizer is a device that is typically small, comes in a case and can fit in your pocket, purse or glove box. A keychain breathalizer is more convenient in that it can be put on your keychain and easily carried with you wherever you go. In either case, all you need to do is turn the breathalizer on and blow into it. Both types are quick and less expensive than a professional breathalizer, but generally less accurate.
Have you ever been in a bar and seen a small black box sitting on the counter? If so, you likely saw a coin-operated breathalyzer device. These breathalyzers work by inserting coins, usually $1.00, into the box and blowing into a small hole with a straw. The coin-operated breathalyzer then gives the person a blood alcohol content (BAC) reading. While these may sound like a good option for bars to have, they are not entirely accurate. If smoke or alcohol is near the device when administering the breathalizer test it can give an incorrect reading. However, this is an inexpensive option for someone wanting to have an estimate of his or her blood alcohol level without purchasing a personal breathalyzer.
Professional breathalyzers are used by law enforcement, and since their results can be used in a court of law, the are the most accurate. But they are also the most expensive devices, and their cost is typically out of reach from the average consumer.
If you are searching for a breathalyzer online there are a few things to look for before making a purchase. Buying a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) certified breathalyzer is a good indicator that the device has been tested and regulated to ensure that it is safe to use. While a cheap breathalizer may not be entirely accurate, more expensive doesn’t necessarily mean better. The most important thing is that you do your research and find a breathalizer that has good reviews and accurate test results. There is no room for error when drinking and driving is involved.
