Hardly at all unless you put it in your mouth just before being breathalysed - in this case the cops will see you do this and probably make you have a blood test too.

Yes, if done within a short amount of time. I have seen guys fail a BAT if they had used mouthwash within 15 or so minutes of taking a BAT.


Would a rum flavored cigar cause one to fail a breathalyzer?

Theoretically it is possible that flavoring agents might affect the outcome of the test - that is why subjects being given the test are instructed not to use mouthwash or chew gum prior to their being administrered the test. HOWEVER- if you are thinking of using that excuse as a defense consider this, the option to a breathalyzer test is the blood alcohol test where they draw blood at a medical facility in lieu of the breathalyzer.

When using a mouthwash will it show up on a breathalyzer?

Yes absolutely. Unless a mouthwash specifically says 'no alcohol', most mouthwashes contain a large amount of alcohol. However, the effect of the alcohol in the mouthwash only last for a short time, unlikely to be long enough for a test to prove positive - unless you are actually using the mouthwash in the car.


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.
