Soda, chips, gum, hygiene products…

These are all items you sometimes find in vending machines.  Today there is a new option: a breathalyzer test.  That’s right; a new option for bar owners today is to purchase a breathalyzer vending machine.  There are several benefits to entice bar owners to use these machines:

• Reduce the number of impaired or intoxicated people on the highway.
• Educate consumers to drink moderately and appropriately pace drinking.
• Employ a tactful, third-party way to refuse service without offense.
• Additional profit even if only a portion of the customers buy one.

Look for these machines to be popping in all the sports bars, pubs and clubs in town.  If you want to stop drinking and driving you can carry your own pocket breathalyzer as well.  That helps put you in charge of your own sobriety.
