Breath tests for alcohol are widely available and work to set cut off levels, These are 0.02%BAC,(HSE occupational cut off) 0.05%BAC(European driving level) and 0.08%BAC (UK drive prosecution level)
The breathalyzer test kits are used once and then disposed into normal waste services.
Breath alcohol tests are available in packs of 3 and 6 and 20 tests. no specialist training is required to use the tests as a simple colour change confirms if the alcohol level is below the cutt off level or above it, making result interpretation simple.

6. Do you carry on drinking even though it is interfering with your work, family or relationships?
7. Do you need a drink to start the day?
8. Do you get shaky, sweaty or anxious a few hours after your last drink?
9. Have you experienced blanks in your memory, where you can’t remember what happened for a period of hours or days?
10. Is your judgement affected by alcohol, so that you do things that you normally wouldn’t, such as starting fights or arguments, having unprotected sex with strangers or becoming violent.
If you answer yes to more than three of these questions, it is indicator of alcohol misuse.
