That's fucking weird. I got breathalysed the other night for the first time in 9 years on way home from work. I thought to myself, surely there is something like a pill that could make this appear lower than it really is.

Sue them for stealing your thoughts!

Could be a reallly bad thing amoung younger drivers, the procedures will have to be changed on determining if someone is over the limit

Even so, they're only roadside tests. You have to provide a specimen of breath on the local nic's machine to be charged.

if you can get them to a station a blood test is given which obviously cant be swayed.

its coming up with an infallible roadside solution thats the problem that will give them means to arrest

Link says it lowers absorption, nothing to suggest it won't fool a blood test. If it does lower absorption though surely you won't be getting as drunk anyway so it's not really foolig anything apart from yourself?

I thought it said it doesn't decrease the risk of driving after drinking? Which would mean it doesn't effect how drunk you really are?
