Many partygoers want to keep their alcohol in check, but we don’t know many who want to lug around a dedicated breathalyzer, no matter how small it may be. Tokyoflash may have found a happy medium for those drinkers by tucking a breathalyzer into its new Kisai Intoxicated watch. Blow into a sensor and the LCD will change to a color reflecting the alcohol intake: green is sober, yellow is buzzed and red is well over the line. There’s also a mini-game to test reflexes in those less-than-certain moments. Buyers seeking some temperance in their lives will want to act quickly, however — Tokyoflash will only sell the Kisai Intoxicated at a discounted $99 price during its first 48 hours on sale.

Sometimes, you go to a party and end up drinking more than you should have. You probably know better than to drink and drive, so your best bet would be to crash at a friend’s place until you’re sober enough to go home.

Most people aren’t really good judges of even their own sobriety, and that’s where the BACtrack Breathalyzer comes in.

BACtrack is a compact breathalyzer that you can take with you on the go. It can accurately measure how much alcohol you have in your system, thanks to its internal air pump that can provide you with precise and consistent results. It then sends its data to your iOS device over Bluetooth. Being true to the ‘track’ part of the breathalyzer’s name, the BACtrack will track your blood alcohol content (BAC) over time so you can gauge and maybe even re-asses your current drinking habits.

The companion iOS BACtrack app also serves as your personal drink diary, and even lets you snap photos of what drinks you’ve been imbibing. It doesn’t skimp on social features either, as you can share your results with other people, like your designated driver.

The app also has a feature which will estimate how long it will take for your blood alcohol level to return to 0.00 so you know approximately when it will be safe to drive, bike, walk (or text).

The BACtrack is available on ThinkGeek for $149.99(USD).

Whenever you know that you are about to attend a social gathering that will have plenty of drinking and booze, you might want to take special note beforehand to appoint a designated driver. Yes sir, after all, everyone of us have a friend who does not drink, and yet need to ride on your coattails to join the swankiest parties in town. In the event where you do not have a designated driver, you might want to check out the $149.99 BACtrack Mobile Breathalyzer which has been deemed to be one of the nerdiest breathalyzer ever made to date.

The BACtrack Mobile Breathalyzer would let you geek out even when you are being over-friendly with the bottles of your favorite poison, where all you need to do is blow into it, and results from BAC will be transmitted to your iPhone or iPad. This allows you to track your BAC over time, where the app will be able to estimate just when you would end up sober enough to communicate with other folks. Not only that, the free app that comes along with it would allow you to take down notes and snap photos of your beverages in your personal drink diary, where you can then share them with your social networks. Just make sure your boss does not check out your Facebook profile…

Breathometer claims to be the first smartphone breathalyzer (more on that below), which is a device that estimates the alcohol level in your blood by looking at its concentration in your breath. As you can see, this is a rather small device that you could leave in your car, or take with you in your pocket, and it is clearly much smaller than typical stand-alone devices that I have seen before. Of course, the device is meant to be used with an associated app that receives the data by the audio port, and interprets it for you.

The idea of a portable and affordable breathalyzer isn’t really new, and we’ve seen a Breathalyzer Watch, a Breathalyzer GPS or even cell-phone based versions from LG, and many other designs. The creators of Breathometer have worked with SodaHead.com to compile data about drinking and driving. According to their research, 64% of respondents have driven while being intoxicated, or driven around by someone who was.

Breathometer works on Android and iOS, and can do a little more than telling you that you may want to avoid driving: it can also search for an alternative such as taxis or public transportations. The company is seeking funding through Indiegogo with pledges starting at $20. Is this something that you would use?

We’ve come across our fair share of items that help notify people just how drunk they are, but one thing we never thought would become an actual product would be a breathalyzer accessory for the iPhone. But here we are, in 2013, and something like this will actually be available one day.

Alcohoot is the name of the breathalyzer iPhone accessory which will allow you to breathe your alcohol-filled breath into it in order to test just how drunk you are. If the Alcohoot detects your breath is above the legal limit, it’ll proceed to call you a cab without you needing to remember any numbers, which will probably become a jumbled set of numbers in your head anyways after a long night of drinking.
