Alcohoot Ensures People Keep Track of People's Blood Alcohol Levels
Meghan Young — November 12, 2014 — Tech
With the holiday season just around the corner, this smartphone breathalyzer is a handy gadget to have on hand. Dubbed the Alcohoot, it ensures that people are able to keep track of their alcohol levels in order to stay safe when at parties and especially when leaving. The smartphone breathalyzer essentially keeps roads safe by ensuring people don't drive when drunk.
Priceless when considering a person's life, the smartphone breathalyzer costs an affordable $120 and works with an accompanying app. It not only keeps count of how many drinks a person has had, it also displays their blood alcohol concentration to inform people whether or not the user is legally intoxicated. Unfortunately, although it is labeled 'law enforcement-grade,' a lot can still be improved.
