If you scroll down the Liquor Snob website, you will find this review of the AlcoHawk Micro breathalyzer.
As strange as it
sounds, it can be tough to find someone willing to be the designated driver.
Sure, at the beginning of the night, it's easy to vow that you'll sit around
and drink soda while your friends get progressively plowed, but when push
comes to shove not everyone has the willpower. "C'mon, I'm fine to drive."
You've heard it before, and maybe you've even said it, when the blood
alcohol told a different story. Yeah, you feel fine to drive, but are you
legal? The last thing you need is to see those blue lights spinning in your
rear view. At the end of the night it's important to be safe, and now you
can let people prove they're sober (or prove it to yourself) before getting
behind the wheel. We found the Alcohawk keychain breathalyzer at Amazon for
just such a situation. Get your own Alcohawk keychain breathalyzer

Many alcohol testers in the market are designed to test passive samples of breath, which means a breath sample is taken without the use of a mouthpiece. It is common to use passive testing because it is easy to simply test for the presence of alcohol on the breath. However, passive testing is typically less accurate and can often lead to unreliable results. The results of passive testing units are greatly altered by the surrounding environment as their sensor is highly exposed to any pollutants in the air. It is can also be difficult for the user to judge the correct distance to the space where to exhale into the unit.
According to promotional information for the AlcoHawk Micro breathalyzer, provided by Q3 Innovations:
The AlcoHawk Micro is a newly-released 2005 digital breath alcohol detector designed with portability and easy storage in mind. This extremely compact unit offers a two-digit LED display with a unique folding mouthpiece design, passive testing feature and keychain attachment. Simple one-button operation and powered by a AAA battery.
