Default breathalyzers

Does anyone own one? I'm wanting one for my birthday as a bullshit gift from my wife. What do you recommend? I really don't want her to spend more than $50 on one.

I think I said it best to my dad when I was like 8 years old:
"Sharper Image and Brookstone have a bunch of neat stuff, but none of it works."

They're basically the same. One thing I will say for Brookstone is their raised Sp'Air Bed is the best portable air mattress bar none.

I saw an ad yesterday... Linen's and Things (of all places). It was like $20-30. Doubt if it works.

I found out my parents bought a pro grade one from samclub.com to catch me when I walk in early in the morning. Found it tho and hid it before it was ever used.

Plus drinking and driving is a stupid choice. U run into me drunk, I'm kicking your ass before the cops get there.

Even the police Portable Breath Testers do hardly more than give you a rough idea, and even then they can be too far off even for that purpose if administered improperly.
