For Novelty Purposes Only, May 24, 2010
This review is from: Breathalyzer Blood Alcohol Content Tester with Dual LCD Display (Electronics)
This item, in my opinion, is only any good for novelty purposes. It's fairly accurate in telling you whether you have ANY alcohol on your breath or not, but the reading is impressively and consistently wrong. I tend to get a max reading (.20) after half of one beer. I've also tried waiting one half hour, with absolutely no alcohol, juice, smoking (don't smoke anyhow), or any other of the multiple warnings it has for getting a false reading. Again, it will give me a max reading, regardless of what or how much alcohol I've had to drink prior to the test (typically 1 beer).
On the other side of the coin, I had a friend try it immediately after taking a shot (which should throw the reading off massively). His reading was 0.00.
But hey, it's fun to play with. I think, for a reliable breathalyzer, you'd have to go for a product in the price range of ~$100. "Wired" magazine had a good review on breathalyzers recently.

Digital Alcohol Tester Breath Analyzer with Clock/Alarm, October 4, 2009
This review is from: Breathalyzer Blood Alcohol Content Tester with Dual LCD Display (Electronics)
This was "back-up" to prove a point and it worked. I left one with my son who is at college to so he could verify before letting guests leave. Everyone, so far, has understood the why of it.
