Advantages of Owning a Breathalyzer for Alcohol Detection

If you drive, you should be familiar with the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol. Aside from it being illegal and making you subject to arrest on the spot, it greatly impairs your judgment, reaction time, alertness, and control of the vehicle, which causes immense danger to yourself, your passengers and other drivers and pedestrians who are on the road. As well as having a basic awareness of your own alcohol tolerance and capabilities, as well as how blood alcohol levels work, it is also important to understand how alcohol affects you and when, if ever, you are safe to drive after having a drink or two. This is particularly important to understand because alcohol affects everyone differently, and BAC is a great equalizer, especially for people who might feel okay to drive even if they are not.

Gives a clear reading of your BAC

Owning a personal breathalyzer, and using it to get a reading of your own blood alcohol content after you’ve consumed alcohol, is a highly useful and helpful way to make sure that you don’t become the person who thinks they are okay to drive but aren’t. The breathalyzer is a machine, not a person, and it decides your BAC based on scientific observation and mathematics, not on personal feelings or assumptions. Buy a breathalyzer and using it on yourself after drinking not only gives you an accurate and impartial BAC reading, but also takes the decision of whether or not to drive out of your hands. It doesn’t matter how you feel: if you have a BAC of .04 or higher, don’t get in the car.

They are portable, versatile and accurate

There are other advantages to owning a breathalyzer, including being able to check on your friends’ BACs as well as your own, the convenience of being able to test multiple times in an evening, and the convenience of having it in your pocket (and not in a police officer’s hand). But the main advantage is being able to, quite literally, check yourself before you wreck yourself.
