AlcoHawk Slim
Have you ever gotten behind the wheel when you maybe shouldn't have? The AlcoHawk Slim digital breathalyzer from Q3 Innovations aims to let you know when you've had too much to drink. This handheld device uses a sensitive semiconductor sensor to test blood alcohol concentration from .00 to .40 percent. To operate, press the button on the handheld device, wait for the countdown on the screen to reach zero, then blow into the mouthpiece for five seconds. Your BAC reading will appear on the screen within four to five seconds after the breath sample is taken.
