Best Answer

The blood exchanges gases in the lungs. Oxygen is taken in by the blood from the inhaled air, and the exhaled air contains traces of alcohol that the blood has exchanged with the air that was just inhaled. The Breathalyzer device that the police use can detect the alcohol in the exhaled air.
