Summer's here and everyone wants to have a good time. However, vacations, barbecues and night parties are often marred by excessive drinking.
In order to help drivers and make roads safer for all of us, Alcotest Québec is launching a new personal electric device that measures alcohol content in the blood.
According to the company, most drunk drivers are not even aware that they're over the legal limit. With the AQ 08, they'll be able to know their blood alcohol level in less than 10 seconds, meaning they're less likely to drive under the influence of alcohol.
This portable device meets DOT and NHTSA standards in the United States. You can purchase it for $150 at most Uniprix and Lebeau Vitres d'autos retailers across Quebec as well as through the website of Alcotest Québec.
If you'd like to spend a little less, you can buy Alco-Tube Plus, a small personal single-usage breathalyser. While it won't specify the alcohol level in your blood, it will tell you if you're over the limit.
