Benefits of Using a Personal Breathalyzer to Measure Your BAC  

Using a Personal Breathalyzer to measure your BAC can save lives, including your own. It can also keep you out of jail, save you money, and preserve your professional reputation. Here are a few more specific benefits of using a personal breathalyzer.

Speed of service

Breathalyzers are quick and simple to use. Once you blow into one, it only takes a few seconds for your BAC to come up on the display. You can even test several people in a row if you like.

No arguing with science

Breathalyzers work by using a scientific formula that determines how much alcohol is in your blood by reading the amount of alcohol in your breath. The science behind this formula is incontrovertible; there’s no arguing with the breathalyzer, so if it says your BAC is too high to drive, it absolutely is.

No blood draw

Blood tests return the same level of accuracy as breathalyzers do. But blood tests involve sticking a needle into your arm and drawing blood, which not everyone’s a fan of. A personal breathalyzer will preclude you from needing any other kind of test.

Check yourself before you wreck yourself

This phrase bears repeating, as the most important use of a personal breathalyzer is the one to which the phrase refers: checking your BAC before you even get into a car, so that you won’t wrap that car around a tree once you’re in it.

Let the breathalyzer do the work

The more you drink, the worse your judgment gets, and the more you might feel like you’re okay to drive even when you aren’t. Using a personal breathalyzer in that situation will give you an impartial, clear, unclouded answer as to how capable of driving you actually are. Don’t rely on your own mind when you’ve had a few drinks. Rely on a personal breathalyzer. And if it reads above .04, just stay out of the car.
