Will a nicotine patch elevate the blood alcohol level reading on a breathalyzer test?
No, but it could elevate your chances of death
What if you don't breath hard into a breathalyzer?
If you don't breathe hard enough into a breathalyzer, the device may not be able to accurately measure your breath alcohol content. This could result in an inconclusive or inaccurate reading. It's important to follow the instructions provided with the breathalyzer to ensure a reliable result.
Could nuts cause false breathalyzer results?
Not unless they were soaked in alcohol.
Can a breath test detect alcohol that is absorbed through the skin?
Absorption through the skin is extremely limited, although it could add to the blood alcohol content. It would still be detected by the Breathalyzer because it measures alcohol leaving the bloodstream in the lungs.
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.
How do breathalyzer machines work?
The best information that i could attain was on winikapedia. It gives a run down on everything that there is to know about a breathalyzer and how it works. The link to it is here if your interested http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breathalyzer.
Do they make car breathalyzer?
Yes, they do! A car breathalyzer is one of the last barriers to drunk driving prevention for DUI offenders who want to stay out of jail. A car breathalyzer, also known as an ignition interlock device, (or the Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety) requires drivers to give a breath sample prior to starting their cars. If the breathalyzer detects a certain amount of alcohol, the car simply will not start. But by 2012 or so, in-car breath sniffers could be standard equipment in every new vehicle sold, force-fed to you by the tag team of Washington, Detroit and, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD).
You had one drink and you have to take a pee test how long does it take for the alcohol to get out of your system?
It depends on the test. If it's a breathalyzer test, don't worry about it. If it's an EGT, could take as long as three days, but probably less.
Will you pass a breathalyzer after not drinking for 10 hours?
You may not pass a breathalyzer after not drinking for 10 hours. Each person's metabolism is different, some could pass and some will not.
Can hypothermia increase blood alcohol reading?
While I am not a physician, I honestly can't see how it could have any impact.There's a little complication here: hypothermia CAN change the breath alcohol reading; there have been a couple of papers published showing that mild hypothermia can cause a breathalyzer to read noticeably higher (about 20% higher) than it should based on the actual blood alcohol concentration. However, the same study found that it had no impact on the blood alcohol decay curve.If you're hoping to get out of a DUI this way, from a legal standpoint it doesn't really matter WHY your blood alcohol concentration was over 0.08%, it only matters THAT your blood alcohol concentration was over 0.08%. If it was a breath test only, you might be able to argue that you read higher than you should have because you were cold. If they actually took a blood sample, then the concentration was what it was and you're pretty much hosed.
Can you be charged with DWI if you don't blow?
Yes, you can be issued a citation and then charged with a DUI if you don't submit a breathalyzer. You don't need to be under the influence of alcohol, it could be prescriptions or over the counter medicine, if the officer thinks you are impaired, he can cite you.And you can lose your license for a year for refusing the breathalyzer.But a lot of attorneys will tell you not take the breathalyzer and to go to the station and either submit to a blood test.
Is it safe to buy a used breathalyzer machine?
It is very safe to buy a breathalyzer if it doesn't have any side effects from use. It is safe, but for best results you should purchase new. A used one could be damaged.
