Breathalyzer Tests
A Breathalyzer is a device used to measure blood alcohol content (BAC) from a person's breath. When someone consumes alcohol, it enters the bloodstream and is expelled through the lungs. To perform a test, an individual blows into the Breathalyzer, which analyzes the breath sample for alcohol levels. The device typically provides a reading displayed as a percentage of BAC. Law enforcement commonly uses Breathalyzers to assess drivers' sobriety during traffic stops. Results help determine if a person exceeds legal alcohol limits, which can lead to penalties such as fines or loss of driving privileges.
