The iBreath is an attachment for the iPhone that measures blood alcohol level. For only $79 you can buy this accessory that plugs into the iPhone. The iBreath features a retractable blow wand, and within two seconds, it displays the results on an LED screen. A reading of 0.08 or above sets off an alarm because the blood-alcohol level is above the legal limit.
“We are absolutely not advocating drinking and driving, but we know that people just don't observe that,” said don Bassler, chief executive and founder of David Steele Enterprises Inc. in Newport Beach, an online retailer and creator of the iBreath. “We don’t want people to think that this makes it all OK, but it’s a safety device that we hope people will use, and it may save lives.”
This is actually a really awesome device. I know too many people who have said they were okay to drive and then get a DUI. This may have made them think differently. Or, if you’re like me you can go the cheap route and make sure you have a DD at all times. Don’t drink and drive under any circumstances, especially during the holidays! The people at iBreath agree:
“I’m afraid it not only causes young people to use it as a training tool but also gives them a false sense of security. ‘I’m good to go,’ ” Dean-Mooney said. “Your blood-alcohol content goes up for 30 minutes after you stop drinking. There’s no need to risk hurting yourself or other innocent people when you can simply plan ahead.”
