In some states, refusal to take a Breathalyzer test is considered consent to other tests of BAC, such as a blood or urine test. So, in those states, you can be taken in for testing. If, however, you had in fact consumed no alcohol, and the police officer had no reason to suspect you were driving under the influence and was simply abusing his authority, you should consult a lawyer.
No, and don't drink and drive!
Absolutely they can. I have a breathalyzer in my car from a DUI and it registered after drinking a 180 Energy drink. I have a police issue breathalyzer I use to see what my BAC is before I attempt to start my car. I just tried an experiment. I blew a 0.000 then took a drink of a Rockstar Juiced Mango and Orange passion fruit. I immediately blew again and registered a 2.68 on my breathalyzer. After a drink of water I registered a 0.000, so do not drink an energy drink and then try to blow. Wait a minute or two, or drink a glass of water to clear from your system.
They do not come standard on cars but they will be installed if you get a dui. They will have the breathalyzer installed on your car and you have to pay for it so the best thing is to not drink and drive.
DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE
Don't drink is the only way to "beat" a breathalyzer. Or, get sober long before you drive, over many hours. The breathalyzer test is very sensitive. You cannot fool it. It will not help to chew gum or suck on mints. There is one OTHER way to avoid a breathalyzer... have a designated sober driver.
Yes. You have to drink 10 Odouls to equal 1 real beer!
Depending on what state you reside, "over the limit" is usally 0.08 or higher on a breathalyzer. In most cases, that occurs after having between 1 and a half to 2 drinks withing an hour of taking a breathalyzer. Proclaiming to the police that you only had "two drinks" does not constitute sobriety during a stop. Because a breathalyzer analyzer detects only the alcohol detected in deep lung air, which is associated with pure BAC (Blood Alcohol Level) it is imperative that after the second drink that you supposedly had, you must wait at least 30 minutes for the alcohol to absorb, or metabolize through your system before you drive.
Approximately 24 hours after you have last had alcohol or drank, you will blow a 0000 on a breathalyzer. 24 hours is the minimum amount of time it takes for alcohol to completely leave the system.
of course we drink, sheesh, we would dehydrate if we didnt.
The reason that sobriety is a lifelong commitment is because sobriety itself has very little to do with the act of drinking. Additionally, that's why there's a big difference between being dry and being sober. Sobriety means a total change in lifestyle, living on spiritual principles, reduction of ego and self, and service to others. If this isn't maintained, more often than not the alcoholic will eventually drink again.
Many years ago, "sobriety" used to refer to being very serious; but in modern times, it has come to refer to an alcoholic's effort to abstain from drinking. An alcoholic who is in the midst of his or her disease is frequently drunk. The opposite of being drunk is being sober. Thus: John is glad he is not drinking, and he is very proud of his sobriety.
forever until you drink/take drugs. unless if you count the DMT release during dreams/during death
