What is a breathalyzer?
A breathalyzer is a small device that is used to determine a person's blood-alcohol content. The higher the blood-alcohol content, the more alcohol the person has in their blood. In Kansas, a level of .08 or greater will result in a DUI.

If alcohol in mouthwash can make you fail a breathalizer or what about a inhailor from asthma?
Alcohol in mouthwash may cause you to fail a breathalyzer test because the residual alcohol remains in your mouth for up to 15 minutes after using. The breathalyzer will pick up this residual alcohol in your breath and not differentiate whether it came from mouthwash or beverages. You should never take a breathalyzer test within 15 minutes of taking mouthwash or an alcoholic beverage in order to let the residual mouth alcohol dissipate.Mouthwash can cause a positive result on an ETG test. Whether or not an asthma medication could do the same thing would depend on whether it contained alcohol, how often it was used, and when the test was give.
What is blood alcohol concentration (BAC)?

It is crucial to seek immediate medical attention at this level.
Would a bronchial infection affect a breathalyzer test?
It will affect the beathalyzer but not how you might be expecting. It will not affect the actual result (the concentration of ethanol in the exhaled air).

There are other types of alcohol such as methanol, but are dangerous to consume.

Can diabetes cause false positive alcohol test results?
No, diabetes has no effect on blood alcohol content. That depends on what type of test you are referring to... Acetone (or other ketones) in the blood/body, whether because of Diabetes, other illness, or some Diets CAN, and often DOES cause false positive alcohol test results if tested with a Breathalyzer. It may not affect the actual blood alcohol content, but it CAN cause false positive test results... THAT is why the result is called a FALSE positive.
