I used to work in a bar that decided they'd get all responsible since we were in a university district and install a breathalyzer as suggested here so often. It actually wound up being great for sales but we took it down after a couple weeks anyway; what happened was that people started using it to "prove" how drunk they were and start "contests" and frankly if we had kept it up longer someone would have died from alcohol poisoning, we'd already seen a few .35's "inspired" by the thing.

Sir_Substance posted:I know this might seem like a bandaid solution, but why was this bar selling booze to people blowing .35? We weren't selling to people blowing .35, we'd cut them off when they blew something nuts like that. (If we saw it which was another real mess of worms, it wasn't constantly overseen or anything.) People would order extra shots in advance with the stated intent of seeing who could blow the highest, come in "pregamed" from the bar next door when we tried cracking down on that so they could look like they were drinking less when they tried to blow it... whole thing got really stupid really fast. EDIT: In the name of constructiveness, if one of these came out that did the whole las vegas jackpot thing whenever someone blew above .2 so we could call a cab and cut them off, and took a picture in case they tried to duck the cutoff that'd probably make these useful; but I'm going to bet that all the ones for bars that are made continue to be basically paid bar games you put a buck in the machine to totally not play a drinking game with.
