AlcoHawk Lets You Know It’s Safe To Drive

Published by cjmullin at 1:55 am under Automotive, Health Gadgets, Miscellaneous, Uncategorized

We’ve all had those nights in the bar where you sit for a few brews, and then a couple of hours later you get up to go to the bathroom…only to find out you had drank enough beer to turn your legs into jello. If you are fortunate enough to have a few good friends that you go out with, they would never let you walk by yourself to the bathroom, let alone get behind the wheel of a car. And quite possibly you may already have desiganted a driver that has had nothing more than a soda or two. But what about those off nights when you stop by yourself, without the assistance and care of a buddy to take your keys and say “Hey man, not tonight.” And you may only have a few drinks, and are not quite sure if you would pass a breathalizer should the 5-O pull you over. For those moments, the AlcoHawk is the perfect little device.

The AlcoHawk uses similar technology to that of the police version. The mouthpiece unfolds, allowing you to give a good breath into the very accurate oxide sensor, showing your blood alcohol content on the LED monitor on the front. There is also a pressure monitor to help ensure accuracy when capturing your sample of hot air. It is so small you can easily hide it in your pocket, or dangle it from your keychain to remind yourself to blow into it before trying to fidget the key into the ignition. Of course, if it takes you long enough to even get the key inserted, you may not even need to bother blowing into the AlcoHawk to figure out you are too drunk to drive. All it takes is five seconds of your night to know how drunk you are. And with a detection range from .00 to .40 BAC, you will get a great sense of where you stand.

Using this whenever you want to monitor your drinking will let you know when you have had too much. Perfect for a night out alone when you just want to relax with a few cocktails, or on that business lunch where you don’t want to crack up the company’s fleet vehicle on your way back to the office. Just remember, always drink responsibly, and if you have had more than enough to question your own judgement, then it’s not safe enough to sit behind the wheel of a moving vehicle.
