Recession antidote: Protocol Keyring Breathalyzer

By: Peter Chubb | April 7, 2009 | 3 Comments

Times are very hard for most of us now, and we have to find ways of making our money stretch. That does not mean that we have to stop spending altogether, we just have to become cleverer at what we buy and when we buy it. Each day we will search for some great deals, which we will call a recession antidote. Our first is this Ashley Collection 2419-7 Protocol Keyring Breathalyzer.

As we work harder to make our money, we always need to go out and let our hair down, it is a great way of dealing with stress for some people, I would not know that, as I do not drink alcohol. For those of you who do worry that you could be over the limit, and not know if it is safe to drive home.

If I did drink I would always choose not to ever drive home, it is just not worth the risk. For those of you who feel that you have just had a little alcohol and worry if you are over the limit or not, then the Keyring Breathalyzer is ideal.

The device measures the amount of alcohol on your breath, this is done with its oxidized semiconductor that measures blood alcohol content (BAC) in seconds. All you need to do is blow in the sensor for around 3 seconds. The device will then report if f your BAC is low (less than .05%), borderline (.05% to .08%), or legally intoxicated (greater than .08%).

The device is available from Woot for just $9.99

    Just bought one yesterday. Took 45 minutes of screwing around with it to get it to turn on. Light still doesn’t work and it never even turns on the breathalyzer portion. Complete garbage!

    you have to hold the button until it lights green…then blow a lung full slowly….keep holding button and it will register with lights after a few seconds. It seems to work for me…drank 6 beers and it says I'm borderline..def wouldnt drive at this point. It might work. Dont know how accurate though. Worth $9.99? cheaper than a DUI. But then again you know when you shouldnt drive.
