Probably not. What the breath test is measuring is the amount of ETOH that is in the breath of a specific volume of air. The body metabolizes alcohol at different rates based on each person but approximately .015 BAC is metabolized out of the body each hour. Therefore in 48 hours after drinking it is unlikely that any alcohol would be detectable. You'd likely be blowing 0s.

Can a breathalyzer be passed 12 hrs after drinking alcohol?

It's possible for alcohol to still be detected on a breathalyzer 12 hours after drinking, depending on the amount consumed and individual metabolism. Alcohol can remain in the system for a significant period of time, so it's advisable to wait longer if you want to ensure a negative test result.


Will Denatured alcohol set off a breathalyzer?

Denatured alcohol contains methanol, which can be detected by a breathalyzer as it breaks down in the body. However, the amount needed to set off a breathalyzer would be much higher than what is typically found in consumer products. It is still best to avoid consuming any form of alcohol before driving.


Will 3 olives from a martini show up on a breathalyzer?

No, three olives from a martini are unlikely to have a significant impact on a breathalyzer test. The alcohol content of the drink, rather than the garnishes, is what matters for blood alcohol concentration (BAC) levels. Since olives contain negligible alcohol, they won't contribute to the readings. However, if the olives are consumed along with the martini, the overall alcohol from the drink itself will still be present in the breathalyzer results.


Can robitussin effect breathalyzer test?

Any substance containing alcohol can effect a breathalyzer test, including burping after consuming alcoholic beverages. Once consumed alcohol is absorbed by the body and introduced into the blood stream. A breathalyzer measures the amount of alcohol vapor that is in the lower lungs. If you were to take a breathalyzer within minutes of having any type of alcohol in your mouth, you would register high due to the vapor still present in your mouth. That is why an operator has you wait 20 minutes for the vapor to dissapate from your mouth. Any substance containing alcohol would register in after consumption, including medicines containing alcohol.


How much time after consuming alcohol would it take to show on a breathalyzer test?

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.


Can a breath test detect alcohol that is absorbed through the skin?

Absorption through the skin is extremely limited, although it could add to the blood alcohol content. It would still be detected by the Breathalyzer because it measures alcohol leaving the bloodstream in the lungs.


Is blowing a 0.04 on a breathalyzer considered high levels?

A blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.04 is below the legal limit for driving in most jurisdictions, which is typically 0.08. However, even at 0.04, alcohol can still impair coordination and judgment, increasing the risk of accidents. It's always safest to avoid driving if you have been drinking.


Can you still drive after drinking 0.0 percent alcohol?

How long does it take for 2 shots of alcohol to be out of your breath?

The time it takes for alcohol to leave your breath can vary based on several factors, including your body weight, metabolism, and the amount of food consumed. On average, the body metabolizes alcohol at a rate of about one standard drink per hour. For two shots of alcohol, it may take approximately 2-3 hours for the alcohol to be significantly reduced in your breath. However, breathalyzer tests can still detect alcohol for a longer period, depending on individual factors.


Alcohol in the system?

I had one beer 21hours ago is there still alcohol in my system and can a urine test detect the one alcohol drink from 21 hours later


How long would it take for one can of odouls to not show up on a breathalyzer do to the minimum amount of alcohol?

Theoretically, the amount of alcohol in a non-alcoholic beer (actually such beers must contain less than one-half of one percent alcohol) should be metabolized in fewer than ten minutes. Therefore, the consumer's breath should register for no alcohol on an alcohol breath test after that period of time has elapsed.
