Breathalyser
Breathalyzer tests for detecting alcohol in breath are a recommendable procedure for measuring blood or breath alcohol levels. Disposable alcohol test kits and digital breathalysers are usefulfor use in businesses, by healthcare workers or for home use. Most people use them to check against the drink drive limit. In the UK this is 80mg/dl or 0.08% BAC (blood alcohol concentration).
Having a dependable way of testing for alcohol levels is important in employee testing and to check that that a person is legal to drive the next morning. It can prevent accidents and improve the awareness of the dangers of driving the morning after drinking.
Electronic Breath Alcohol Testing Units
Electronic breathalysers are more cost effective if you are screening for alcohol on a regular basis. Breathalyzers use individual mouthpieces to ensure that every test is as accurate as the last.

Breath Alcohol Tests – A simple commercial version of the “blow in the bag” alcohol breath test kit used by the British Police.
The Home Office Approved breathalyser are a portable modification of the basic roadside breathalyzer used by the British Police Forces for a long time. 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 disposable product most commonly used when carrying out pre-employment, random or accident based workplace employee drug and alcohol testing.
The most accurate time to carry out these tests is the morning after alcohol consumption 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.
