Cell Phone Breathalyzer

Cell phones were originally made to simply allow you to make phone calls without tying you to one place. They are now a way of life, something allot of people consider indispensable. Almost everything can be accomplished with them. Checking email, reminders for important dates, digital photos, messaging, and much more.

You can now add one more thing to cell phones’ capabilities: A SOBRIETY TEST!

That’s right, cell phones with built-in Breathalyzers! So after a night of too much to drink, you can pull out the device to see if you’re fit to get behind the wheel.

LG introduced the LP4100 last year to the U.S.

Here’s how it works: Users blow into a small spot on the phone, and if they’ve had too much to drink the phone issues a warning and shows a weaving car hitting traffic cones. The company also sells plug-in Breathalyzer adapters for some phones. None of the models tell you exactly how much you may be over or under the legal limit, but it can keep you from making other alcohol-related mistakes.

The LP4100 also allows users to set up the phone so on certain nights and after a certain time they do not call certain people in their phone book. Think ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend.

If you have a blood alcohol level over .08, the phone will not let you dial that person. So it not only promotes sobriety, but chastity — and probably your dignity, as well.
