Yes, hairspray can potentially cause a false positive reading for alcohol on a breathalyzer test. This occurs because some hairsprays contain alcohol-based ingredients that can be inhaled or absorbed through the skin. However, the amount is typically minimal and unlikely to significantly affect blood alcohol concentration (BAC) readings unless used in excessive amounts. It's always best to avoid using such products before taking a breathalyzer test to eliminate any chance of interference.
