Can monster energy drinks cause you to fail a breathalyzer?

Monster Energy drinks do not contain alcohol, so consuming them alone should not cause you to fail a breathalyzer test. However, some energy drinks can affect your metabolism and hydration levels, which might impact how alcohol is processed if you've consumed both. Additionally, certain ingredients in energy drinks may lead to false positives in some breathalyzer tests, but this is rare. It's always best to avoid drinking and driving altogether.

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.


Can diabetes cause false positive alcohol test results?

Diabetes can potentially cause false positive alcohol test results due to the presence of high levels of acetone in the breath of individuals with uncontrolled diabetes. Acetone is a ketone body produced during the breakdown of fatty acids for energy in the absence of sufficient insulin. Some breathalyzer devices may not be able to distinguish between acetone and ethanol, leading to a false positive result for alcohol consumption in individuals with diabetes. It is important for individuals with diabetes to inform testing personnel about their condition to prevent misinterpretation of test results.
