    I have read a site that says breathalyser for alcahol is 90% accurate but I don't believe this "fact"have you heard of any cases of it being wrong?
    I know if you eat a poppy seed bagel it thinks you've been on opium (thanks to braniac)
    but are there are any ways to fool it or make it think you have no alcahol in your system even when you have?
    I just want to know cos my friend is going to buy a personal one and I want to fool her

    *edit*

    Thanks, and as far as I know, there is no way to beat a breathalyser. I'm also sure that the 90% statistic is for the one that your wife bought, and not for the professional models which can cost thousands. Of course, I may be wrong, and anyone who could find a way to beat a breathalyser would be a hero for me, and for many.

    Definitely. All that says is that you don't believe we're worthy of enough of your effort to write grammatically. And quite frankly, you can say that you write in a grammatically correct fashion when it's important, but we have no proof of that.

    To answer your question Monetdell, you may hear that eating an onion can help fool a breathelizer test, in my experience a potato works mutch better. You see potatos are actually much more potent then onions, its just that the odor potatos give off is so strong it can't be dedected by human smell receptors, but the sophisticated technology in a breathalizer can pick up the potato smell and it throws off its detection of the alcohol. So get crazy drunk, then eat a big raw potato, it should work everytime.

    I saw on TV swallowing a small goldfish whole works well for breathelizer tests, because of alcohol absorption.

    Something to do with the fact that goldfish naturally obtain nutrients from water, which works with alcohol too.

    I have a degree in Elementary Education with minors in Math, Science, and English, but mostly I'm just a voracious reader, which means I know good grammar when I see it.

    I read often too. currently reading a book called weaveworld (yes the title is crap) the story is good but its one of those definetly don't judge a book by its cover ones,once you begin to read it is magnificent.
    I'm currently only in high school, but i have a strong interest in the world, and to put it my way, FUCK the system. pardon my french.
    I'm A - C final year student and my strong subjects are geography (A) ICT (B) and Science (A). I'm just scratching a B in english because to be honest i prefer the reading and discussion of books, literature section. than the grammar section, language.

    it is about 2 people that find a world hidden within a carpet where all of a race people come from called the seerkind, they are powerfully magic people that once lived in our world until a mysterious beast that nobody saw and survived called the scourge hunted all that didn't go into the universe hidden in the carpet.
    but it gets stolen from them by a incantrix called immocolatta and her servant Shadwell, with help from Immocolattas' wraith twin sisters, which are very very gruesome.the book involves very graphic horror and sex scenes (mostly of the horrible monsters atacking the boy and making a dead mutant child that has the boys face).
    I have to admit that i have only read 162 of 717 so far because I have been busy with coursework.
    i'll give you a little of the blurb, "WEAVEWORLD is the stuff of which classics are made.it begins with a carpet- a wondrous,magnificent carpet- into which a world has been woven. but as the carpet begins to unravel clive barker takes us to places we have seldom been in fiction- places terrifyind and miraculous."

    just so you know again, its
    WEAVEWORLD by Clive Barker

    The copper from pennies will chemically react with the alcohol vapor in a person's breath, essentially reducing the amount of alcohol vapor in that reaches the breathelizer compared to the amount of "regular" air that reaches the machine. This is why law enforcement officers now inspect a person's mouth prior to administering the test.

    Ahh. You guys should watch Mythbusters more often. This was a topic on one of their shows a few seasons ago. They tried everything from the penny in the mouth, to eating a raw onion, to mouthwash, to a battery(AA) in the mouth. Nothing fooled the breathalyzer. Of course the mouthwash made it all worse. However on a related note... If you do get pulled over for D&D(Drinking and Driving) :siren: throw your keys out the window and chug a beer in front of the cop. You can only get arrested for drunk in public, because the cop cannot prove that you were "drunk" when you were driving. This, however, is not a reason to drink and drive...

    Is it worth potentially losing your car and house keys?

    Well, in my state the fine for a DWI is a $15,000 fine, a few nights in jail, and you lose your driver's license for six months. A locksmith, on the other hand, would only charge $500 to replace the locks at your place, and another $250 to make you a new car key.

    In short, yeah, it's definitely worth it.

    I would have to say that getting expelled anytime, reguardless of how close to graduation, is a bad thing.
    ---
    And to clearify, I didn't intend for people to throw their keys into the woods or somewhere else that you cannot find them. They just have to be out of your reach, ie out of your car. I would have to say that throwing your keys into the street would suffice. :fierce:

    For someone to steal?

    I would hope that no one would try to steal your keys in front of the police. Although it seems to be a likely scenerio from all of the police videos I have seen throughout my lifetime. So given that, I would have to restate my comment, yet again, and say you should throw your keys to the police officer. That however might land you in jail for assault with a deadly weapon, you know how police like to blow things out of proportion. No offense to any outstanding police officers on this forum, of course.
