Have you ever been to a party and worried a friend might have had too much to drink? You have had one of three choices: take his/her keys away, be the designated driver, or just hope you are wrong and your friend makes it home safely. Now, you have a forth option: The Alcohawk Digital Alcohol Detector.

Now, you do not have to take the change of your friend being stopped by the police, getting into an accident or hurting someone else. In many states, a host can be held liable if someone drives under the influence and hurts themselves or someone else.

Do not depend on the standard admission of “I only had a couple. I am fine.” Now you do not have to take the chance. The Alcohawk has a foldable mouthpiece and works similar to the ones used by professionals. Yet, it is small enough to fit in a pocket or on a keychain.

With a breath sample and a beep, you can quickly determine whether your guest is sober enough to drive home. If the sample shows intoxication, take the keys or offer a blanket and pillow for a sleepover.

Before someone gets pulled over or gets into an accident, be proactive. If you have a friend who risks the possibility of driving under the influence of alcohol, or you occasionally like to have a drink or two yourself, then the Alcohawk is the gadget for you.
