Breathalyser
Breathalyzer tests for measuring alcohol in breath are a useful method oftesting blood or breath alcohol levels. Disposable alcohol test kits and electronic digital breathalysers are suitablefor use in the workplace, by healthcare professionals or for in the home. Many use them to measure against the legal drink drive limit. In the UK this is 80mg/dl or 0.08% BAC (blood alcohol concentration).
Electronic Breath Alcohol Testing Units
Electronic breathalysers are more cost effective if you are screening for alcohol on a regular basis. Breathalysers use individual mouthpieces for accurate testing.

Breathalyzer Tests - A brilliant commercial version of the “blow in the bag” breathalyser test kit used by the British Police.
The Home Office Approved breathalyzers are a portable modification of the basic roadside breathalyzer used by the British Police Forces for several decades. It uses yellow crystals which turn green in the presence of any alcohol in breath in order to test patients to a pre-determined level.
This is the breathalyser most often used when carrying out pre-employment, random or accident based workplace employee drug and alcohol screening.
The most accurate time to use these tests is in the morning to see if you are under the limit enough to drive, this is because if you use them while you are still consuming alcohol the test won’t be accurate because alcohol will be in your stomach but not yet in your blood stream or breath, so you could be under the limit when you test yourself but 10 minutes later, you could be over the limit.
