Buyer's Guide to the Best Breathalyzers

The best introductory website for information about breathalyzers and alcohol detection equipment is probably that of Q3 Innovations, which makes the AlcoHawk range of digital alcohol testers.

The Breathalyzer.net website shows the results of breathalyzer comparison tests carried out by MPH magazine.

Various media reports are available online:

The Montreal Gazette in November 2005 provided a short review of the AlcoHawk Elite monitor.

Newsday featured a review of several breathalyzers (pdf file) in July 2005.

The Wall Street Journal in June 2005 carried a feature (pdf file) on home drug testing monitors, that also looked at breathalyzers.

The Delaware News Journal in August 2005 had a report: “Personal Breathalyzers Helpful to a Point.”

An interesting article, “How Breathalyzers Work” is at the How Stuff Works website.

Breathlyzer.net is an online store specializing in alcohol detection monitors, with a fair amount of consumer information. Its FAQ pages include information on the accuracy of the equipment.
