Do you Drink and Drive? If you are pretending saying "NO", well it's not a matter of talk that cops would trust you. So, how would they know your intoxication level? Here's a simple device to test your drinking activity
, Breathalyzer. Breathalyzer is a simple device usually used to identify the alcohol content ( a.k.a Blood Alcohol Content) in a person's breath.

| A Breath Analyzer Device |
This simple and portable device, invented by Robert Frank Borkenstein, an unrecognized inventor, who made possible for the cops to capture drunk drivers at smooth hands. Before the invention of this device, police officers investigating an
accident or noticing a weaving car looked for symptoms like a flushed
face, slurred speech and bloodshot eyes. If the suspect then went to
sleep in the police station, they might have sufficient basis for
charges and further punishment. Or the other way was to get their blood samples and test them in a laboratory, which was an uphill task for the police force.
Working: Breath analyzers do not directly measure blood alcohol content or
concentration, which requires the analysis of a blood sample. Instead,
they estimate Blood Alcohol Content ( BAC) indirectly by measuring the amount of alcohol in one's breath. It just measures the proportion of alcohol vapors in exhaled air, a proportion that reflects the content of alcohol in the blood. The device is kept in suspect's mouth for a matter of seconds and the reading shows the Blood Alcohol Level. If this reading is above the normal level, he is convicted to the police station and further action is taken against the convict.
