Breathalyzers

[Ghost]

I did a search and it looks like the last time this was discussed was 2009. What are the best breathalyzers you have found? I'm looking to buy one and I want to know what is actually worth the money. I sold my car last august and take the bus to work but I think it would be fun to know how drunk I actually am before my girlfriend yells at me.

Groupon has a deal on this one:

for the next 14 hours.
I don't know if it's any good or not.

Have Fun!

I have an AlcoMate. Works pretty well. Prestige model AL6000. IIRC I got a pretty nice deal through eBay with some extra tips & a case.

Had a lawyer come talk to our homebrew club on night. At least in Oregon, will not make a difference if you are below the 0.08

If they deem you impaired, you are SOL. Even if you are 0.02 or maybe less. If you register and your driving sucks, bye bye. Hard to believe.

Kbar - another way to look at it is that if you're under .08 and have a good lawyer, you have a chance. If you're over, you're pretty much hosed (and should be).

In other words, If your girlfriend is a lawyer you're fucked and not in a good way!

I live in Wisconsin which is notoriously weak on DUI laws. By the way my girlfriend is in law school so I guess I'll be fucked in a few years when she graduates.
