Menthol itself is an alcohol.
To be more specific, its a secondary alcohol. However, just because it is an alcohol don't assume that its similar to Ethanol(Drinking alcohol).
As a sidenote, if a compund has "-ol" at the end of it, then its going to be a alcohol. Such as Isopropanol(2-Propanol), Methanol, D-Panthanol, 1- Butanol etc.

Vicks Vapor Rub typically does not affect a breathalyzer test, as it is a topical ointment containing camphor, eucalyptus oil, and menthol which should not interfere with a breathalyzer's ability to detect alcohol. However, it is always best to follow instructions and consult with a healthcare professional if you have concerns about a breathalyzer test.
Any substance containing alcohol can effect a breathalyzer test, including burping after consuming alcoholic beverages. Once consumed alcohol is absorbed by the body and introduced into the blood stream. A breathalyzer measures the amount of alcohol vapor that is in the lower lungs. If you were to take a breathalyzer within minutes of having any type of alcohol in your mouth, you would register high due to the vapor still present in your mouth. That is why an operator has you wait 20 minutes for the vapor to dissapate from your mouth. Any substance containing alcohol would register in after consumption, including medicines containing alcohol.
Albuterol, a medication commonly used to treat asthma, does not typically register on a breathalyzer designed to measure blood alcohol content. Breathalyzers are specifically designed to detect ethanol, the type of alcohol found in beverages. However, certain medications, including some bronchodilators, may potentially affect breathalyzer results in rare cases, but this is not common with Albuterol. Always consult with a healthcare professional regarding the effects of medications on breathalyzer tests.
No, albuterol sulfate does not register on a breathalyzer. Breathalyzers are designed to detect ethanol (alcohol) in the breath, while albuterol is a bronchodilator used to treat asthma and other respiratory conditions. It does not produce the same metabolites as alcohol and therefore would not affect breathalyzer results. However, it's always important to inform medical professionals about all medications being taken.
Yes, soy sauce can potentially cause a false breathalyzer reading due to its alcohol content, albeit very low. Some soy sauces contain trace amounts of alcohol from fermentation, which might be enough to register on sensitive breathalyzer devices. However, the effect is typically minimal and unlikely to lead to a significant false positive for intoxication. It's always best to be cautious and avoid consuming any food with alcohol before a breathalyzer test.

Using hand sanitizer should not cause a positive result on an alcohol test, as hand sanitizers typically contain isopropyl alcohol or ethanol in concentrations that are not high enough to register on a breathalyzer or blood test for alcohol consumption.
Vinegar itself will not cause a breathalyzer test to register a blood alcohol content (BAC) because it does not contain alcohol in significant amounts. However, some breathalyzer devices can be sensitive to certain compounds, and there is a possibility that strong odors from vinegar might temporarily affect results if consumed just before testing. It's always best to avoid consuming any strong-smelling substances before a breathalyzer test to ensure accurate results.
