Can medication create false breathalyzer results?

I saw an episode of Mythbusters where they tried to beat the breathalyzer using tactics rumored to lower the reading. The results of their tests showed that none of the products worked except one (of which I can't remember the name). It actually made the breathalyzer read that the person had an incredibly dangerous amount alcohol in their blood. They did not try medication, but it is safe to say that there is no way to reduce breathalyzer results if you have had too much to drink.

Why would a person own a home breathalyzer?

Home breathalysers can quickley and easily inform someone if they are over the drink-drive alcohol limit. They give a correct reading of the level of intoxiation and can therefore warn someone if they are over or are approaching the legal alcohol driving limit.

Would a bronchial infection affect a breathalyzer test?

It will affect the beathalyzer but not how you might be expecting. It will not affect the actual result (the concentration of ethanol in the exhaled air). It will possibly affect how well someone can exhale the amount needed by the meter to get a reading. Ethanol is the form of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages. There are other types of alcohol such as methanol, but are dangerous to consume.


Will suboxin give false reading on a breathalyzer?

Not at all. Breathalyzers only check for BAC (blood alcohol content). Only other tests can tell if you are under the influence of Suboxone. I am 110% Positive. Just don't drink with your Suboxone. Stay safe and have fun :) -Patrick (Future Pharmacological tech)


Can you beat a DUI with a 18 bac?

depends. if the drink was taken with in minutes of the breath test then you may have a chance. because the alcohol reading would not be accurate that quick after a drink. but if not then ... i don't think so.. Try using www.DuiRights.com .. they know breathalyzer inaccuracies and help you fight the DUI charge. I used them and got the court to drop the bac reading because of the faulty police report.

What does a breathalyzer reading of 1.04 mean?

A breathalyzer reading of 1.04 typically means a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.104%, which is above the legal limit for driving in most places (usually 0.08%). At this level, you may experience impaired coordination, judgment, and reaction time. It is important to not drive if your BAC is over the legal limit to avoid risks of accidents or legal consequences.


Can drinking an energy drink cause a false breathalyzer reading?

Absolutely they can. I have a breathalyzer in my car from a DUI and it registered after drinking a 180 Energy drink. I have a police issue breathalyzer I use to see what my BAC is before I attempt to start my car. I just tried an experiment. I blew a 0.000 then took a drink of a Rockstar Juiced Mango and Orange passion fruit. I immediately blew again and registered a 2.68 on my breathalyzer. After a drink of water I registered a 0.000, so do not drink an energy drink and then try to blow. Wait a minute or two, or drink a glass of water to clear from your system.


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.
