Five Reasons Why You Should Own A Breathalyzer  

Owning a Personal Breathalyzer can be a huge benefit for your personal safety and convenience, as well as those of the people around you too. Here are five specific advantages of owning a breathalyzer.

Quick and easy to use

Breathalyzers are not complex mechanical items, nor do they take a long time to use. Simply blow, read the resulting display, and you’ve got your answer. You can even test multiple people in quick succession.

Accurate readings

Breathalyzers are programmed with a mathematical formula that equates the presence of alcohol in your breath with the percentage of alcohol in your blood. This formula is absolute, and breathalyzers are not prone to errors. If the unit says your BAC is too high to drive, there’s no arguing with it.

Non-invasive

There are other ways to check your BAC. Taking a blood test is one, and it is as accurate as a breathalyzer. But blood tests, aside from being inconvenient and difficult to obtain for individual use, also involve invasive needles and blood draws, and are most often performed after you’ve already been in an accident. The best breathalyzer ensures you’ll likely never need a blood test.

Check yourself before you wreck yourself

As a corollary to the last item, checking your BAC before you get in a car will decrease your chances of getting into an accident by up to 100%; if you don’t get in the car, you can’t crash it into anything or anyone.

Take the decision out of your own hands

Finally, because the breathalyzer is not a person with feelings or emotions like you are, letting its BAC reading determine whether or not you get in a car after a few drinks will allow you to have fun with lowered risk of misjudging your own intoxication. Instead of considering how you might feel, just test yourself with the breathalyzer, and if it says your BAC is too high, don’t get in the car.
