She sued the zoo
There is a responsibility for the patrons to know, hey, you're going to get wet.
everything you need to know before you go legal
every time somebody files a ridiculous lawsuit we're paying for this
we shall we say are
and that got us thinking about breathalyzers, are they accurate
and can other things really give false readings
like mouthwash with alcohol
content
we've got
uh... somebody here that specializes in this
said that's Keith Nothacker
and he is with BACtrack breathalyzer, where are you Keith?
okay Keith come on up.
Wow that's pretty simple
Can people just buy these? They can. They can buy them at K-Mart, online.
target.com, amazon. Really? How accurate are they? They are accurate.
accurate readings require twenty minutes
from ingestion
uh... so that alcohol is actually absorbed
mouthwash breath spray even mints can have an effect right? They will have an
effect. I want to have the lawyers each try this. Lets get it ready.
do the mouthwash
really get it working here. really get it working.
okay so this counts down time wise? "Yes" right when it gets to zero
ok, big breath and blow into it
keep blowing
How long does he have to blow? About five seconds.
wow
point four nine (.049)
ok from Listerine, so you are way over.
alright and that is just from Listerine. ok reset that for me.
ok what is this?
okay that's tequila, you're not getting that (crowd laughs)
lets try the breath spray
and really work it out
just spray it?
yeah just really get it in there
This has a clean mouthpiece right? That does, yes it does.
now its at zero.
4,3,2,1.........keep going, keep going,
keep going you can do this
point four four (.44) from breath spray, are you believing this?
wow breath spray, ok is this one reset? Yes.
okay are you chewing those up? these are strong are they for your breath or for mine? ( Laughing crowd)
Keep going, keep going
we know you're full of hot air.
that makes sense... Zero?
How did he get a zero?
some cases it's absorb quickly and you're getting a true zero.
isn't it true that most of the mints spray and the Listerine has a higher effect than mints?
if its a higher alcohol concentration and still in your mouth, then yes.
Listen, I'm not trying to enable drunks to beat this.
I dont want you telling people that you just had Listerine
or whatever but it is interesting that you can get a false positive with that
now Andres Rodriguez is one of our production coordinators at the doctor Phil show
Come on out.
now Andres volunteered to takes some shots of tequila this morning.
ok, now is this counting down? That is.
and uh... when was the last one that you had? um... about a half-hour ago

yes, ok then I'll pour you one up there.

It's difference, it is definitely different Alright we are going to check him later in the show
and see how it comes out. next we're gonna meet a woman who was just sued

Well we are tackling all thing legal today. In one of my first questions was about how reliable breathalyzers are
at the beginning of the show

comfortable after two or three drinks I wouldn't feel comfortable. But you feel impaired enough?
