Breathalyzer Mtyhs and Facts
|
Chewing gum, eating mints, using breath sprays, etc. before you blow into the breathalyzer will not lower the BAC reading. Mouthwash does contain a small amount of alcohol; however, using it before blowing in the breathalyzer will not confuse the device. It may actually increase the BAC reading. Breathalyzers are not 100% accurate. The breathalyzer reading and the actual BAC in the body varies around 15%. What the breathalyzer does provide is simply an estimate of the BAC in your body.
