The price for a AlcoMate breathalyzer depends on the model purchased. They range in price from $30 for a very basic model such as the AlcoMate Prestige up to $1100 for a very advanced model such as the AlcoMate AL3500 coin-operated model.

The police use a breathalyser kit.
It depends on how much you have drunk, your weight, physical condition, if you have eaten etc.

No... the only thing that would make you fail a breathalyser - is if you have consumed alcohol !
Well, darling, the breathalyser was introduced in 1954 by a jolly old chap named Robert F. Borkenstein. So, if you're ever curious about how the cops catch you after one too many drinks, you can thank Mr. Borkenstein for that little invention. Cheers to him, I guess!
A breathalyser detects the presence of alcohol in the blood. Alcohol gets into the blood when you drink it. The body processes alcohol at a fixed rate (1 unit, that is 10 ml of pure alcohol, an hour). Therefore if you have consumed 6 units, the breathalyser would still detect the presence of alcohol after 5 hours. If you had just consumed 4 units the breathalyser would not detect alcohol after 5 hours.
Alcohol effects a breathalyzer test immediately after consumption.
I'm not sure about a pharmacy, but both Best Buy and Target sell breathalyzers. Backtrack seems to be the most popular manufacturer and they range anywhere from twenty to eighty dollars. Professional models cost about $200.
Certainly it will! It has 35% or so alcohol. I've known people who become very drunk on it.
No. Added: The machine makes a record that is produced in court. The figure does not rely on the officers testimony as to what you blew.
