Passing the Breathalyzer

[MC Crapple]

Hi I'm at school all the time and people are always like "Have you been drinking? I can smell it in your breath" so how do I get this stuff out of my breath, one time I even brushed my teeth and people could still smell it. Is there anything you can take to pass a breathalyzer test too? Because I've been having those done to me at random at school alot and if I did happen to have been drinking previously, I'd like to have a way to pass the test. Thanks!!

brush your tongue nastyboy

[MC Crapple]

Funny you should say that, I brush everyday twice but like three days ago I tried to brush really hard for like 10 minutes and I went to school and my mom could still smell it, how am I gonna pass a breathalyzer if my mom can smell it after I brush!! Its the last day of school in two days and I know they're gonna breathalyze me that day because if I get caught one more time I get kicked out and theyre trying to kick me out. Not drinking the night before is out of the question

[iceygirl]

maybe its coming out of your skin

they proved on mythbusters that there's no way to do it. nuff said.
breathalyser has nothing to do with how your breath smells, it's how much alcohol you are releasing from your lungs when you exhale. ya dig?

[Ace42X]

One way to "pass" it is to have mouthwash present in your car. Mouthwash contains alcohol, which will show up on a breathalyser, allowing you to dispute the results. The downside is when they piss test or blood test you. Of course, these are easier to scam, potentially.

[Bob]

you could always stop drinking before you go to school?

[Rock]

stop making sense.

[abcdefz]

Yeah -- the surefire way to not get busted for drinking is to not drink. Sort of like the surefire way to not get pregnant.

But anyway. Yeah -- the problem is that the alcohol is in your stomach, not your mouth. It's going to come out when you breathe until it's out of your system or has been absorbed.

There are some tricks I know, but I don't think I really want to enable you. :)

[ericlee]

Thank you people for not mentioning the stupid "sucking on a penny" myth.

Seriously though, why are you drinking at school?

Que?

[Bob]

supposedly if you put a penny under your tongue, you can pass a breathalyzer test. apparently that's not true.

[Waus]

I heard it was a 50 cent piece.



(let's see how much change we can get crapple to put in his mouth!)

[Bob]

the penny thing only works if you have at least a dollar's worth shoved in there. could be more depending on your tolerance (for pennies, not alcohol)

[cookiepuss]

so let me get this straight..your Mom smells alchohol on your breath and she lets you go to school like that? Shit kid, you know what I would do if I were your mom? I'd fucking keep you home from school and I'd say ok fucker you want to drink, you're gonna drink. then I'd force feed you booze until you puke your guts out. then after you pass out for a few hours I'd wake you up when you're good and hungover and I'd make you do chores around the house even if it meant you had to crawl. and then we'd see if you still want to drink before school.:rolleyes:

[ericlee]

blegh. First, I wouldn't put myself in the situation for me to ever have to take the breathalyzer. I've grown older and wisened up and I'm glad that I've never hurt anybody back in my days of stupidness while drinking and driving.

Secondly, I'd never put a penny in my mouth because of all the hands it's been in previously.

Still, it wouldn't matter how many pennies you put in your mouth, it would never work:

All imaginary halos and denials aside, none of these tricks work. Pennies held in the mouth no more fool the breathalyzer than would hopping on one foot while reciting the Lord's Prayer. There's nothing magical about the presumed copper content of a one-cent piece that negates the test. (From 1982 on, the U.S. one-cent coin has been made of 97.5% zinc with a copper coating.) Likewise, although mints and various other breath treatments are at least somewhat effective on masking the odor of alcohol on the tippler's breath, they do nothing to affect the presence of demon rum in that person's system. In other words, even if the smell is not detectable, the alcohol itself is.

i heard if you go down on a dude first you totally pass it. you have to swallow, though. make sure you don't let any dribble out. good luck (y)

[Documad]

The breathalyzer is out of vogue, but there are new versions of similar machines -- or what their keepers would call "instruments." There's no way to pass the test except to not consume alcohol, but there are many old wives' tales including the penny, hot peppers, etc. One of the guys I tried ate the skin on his hands off because they had gasoline on them. It's hilarious when people try that shit because it just makes them look more guilty!

That's bad advice. In my state, it's a crime to get a test result over the legal limit -- regardless of what the source of alcohol is. It's a DWI to consume too much mouthwash and be in physical control of a car. In addition, it's such an obvious chronic drunk's tactic that it makes you look a lot worse when you get caught. Also, cops who administer the tests are trained to have an observation period before giving the test to ensure you no longer have alcohol in your mouth. And if you somehow did have alcohol in your mouth, the new machines will detect it and void the test so that the observation period starts over and you are retested.

Now, the PBT is a different animal, with different rules.

there is absolutely no way to pass a breathalizer, beeing drunk on mouth wash is still beeing drunk.

IT CANNOT BE DONE.

i passed by acting like i was blowing hard into the breathalizer, but really i was pushing very little air into it. i'm talking make your face go red & shit. granted they made me do it 3 times, but it worked - i came in with a very low reading and got to bounce. i had consumed about 8 beers and passed. sneaky motherfucker i am.

Did the cop tell you what your result was? I'd wager that even if you'ld blown as hard as possible you would have passed the test.

If we're talking DWI arrest instead of school cop, I wouldn't recommend that to anyone. Again, everyone tries that. Cops can tell when you're faking, and even if you're not faking, they can decide to consider it a refusal if you fail to provide an adequate breath sample. (Current machines measure the size of your breath samples and there is a minimum sized sample that you have to give.) In most states, refusal is a crime, it has a higher criminal penalty, and you lose your driver's license for a longer period of time.

There can be a minor difference in how deep lung air registers vs. shallow lung air, but it's very tricky and even in controlled experiments it isn't much of a difference. So it's technically possible that you could blow a .100 if you empty your lungs and register as a .098 if you don't, but you can't pass unless you're very very close to the limit and do it exactly right. And if you don't blow hard enough to give a legal sized sample, it's a refusal (which is worse) or a nice cop will assume you're physically unable to blow and take a urine or blood sample.

[b i o n i c]

they kept asking me to do it because it kept coming up borderline. maybe the .002 in shallow vs. deep made the difference.

[Documad]

If so, then it's the correct result. You were lucky that they were being nice to you and let you keep trying. The current machines not only give them a volume for the breath sample you give, but they can tell if you're not sealing your lips on the mouthpiece and they can tell if you're not pushing air through the tube.

I played around with them a lot in the lab when they were new. We tried EVERYTHING to mess with them! :)

[roosta]

don't be a dipshit?

to pass after having 8 beers... i think the thing gave me a pretty low (and wrong) reading. and those beers were one after another in not too long a period of time. they smelled it on me and made me take it again and again because they couldnt believe that i was blowing below the limit. eh. i told them i was a pre-law student, maybe they were lenient with me

That doesn't make sense unless it was on a really old machine. If you blow hard enough to get a reading, they have to use the result and they can't make you keep blowing in hopes that your blood alcohol reading will be larger if you blow harder. They can only have you keep blowing if you didn't blow hard enough to give a sample large enough for the machine to read.

In my experience, cops are much harder on lawyers and law students so that comment wouldn't help you out. :p

It's possible to be below the legal limit (especially back when it was .10) on eight beers. I wouldn't recommend that people rely on any rough math, but it depends upon size of beers, time consumed, what you ate that day, how large you are, and how your body processes alcohol. If I remember right. Some tiny women can fail the test after two quick glasses of wine but big men can have the opposite result if they drink over time.

[Documad]

I should probably say that my state tends to have state of art equipment and better forensic scientists than other states so maybe they're still using breathalyzers in the sticks. :)

when thinking about driving after you've been drinking you shouldn't 'suck on a penny', instead try sucking on a dick. you're already a cocksucker.

True. Most of the stories from my old job are kind of funny, but there are a lot of very sad ones too. I won't drink and drive at all.

It's also worth noting that you can get a DWI even if your test result is under the legal limit.

first of all, police (or let me just speak for ny ones) can/do what they want. period.

and they were nicer after i responded to a question about what i was studying. they did get readings before the last time + they did ask me to blow harder. yup. maybe they didnt want to be bothered with me? i dunno. yip.
