Comment Re:But does it work? (Score 1) 707
Actually, research I read when I got my DUI in 2007 seemed to indicate the release of alcohol vapors into the air by the lungs can vary widely between persons, by as much as 20%.

I don't know about 49 of the states, but in Washington state, if you want something more accurate than a breathalyzer, you have to demand the police take you to the hospital to have blood drawn at your own expense. They are required by law to comply, but 99% of DUI suspects know nothing of their rights.
We have these little portable devices that can check a person's blood sugar. Why don't the police have blood sensors that can check blood alcohol content... via blood, instead of breath?
