Deal Details
Use Code TRICKS24 for 20% discount. This is the best consumer breathalyzer you can buy, at least as far as I'm aware. It also almost never really goes on sale, anymore. I think far too many people get hung up on somebody driving drunk because of this... and in my opinion, these are to help you AVOID driving drunk. As an example, if you have a glass of wine or two with your dinner, and you leave the restaurant after an hour and a half, you might want to know your BAC level before driving. That's where this thing shines, IMO.


Core Features
  • Xtend® Fuel Cell Sensor Technology - BACtrack's professional-grade sensor is the same technology trusted by hospitals, clinics, and law enforcement, and offers the highest level of accuracy and consistency.
  • Effective Breath Capture - Mini-solenoid internal breath pump ensures the most accurate and efficient breath capture for testing.
  • One Touch Operation - Simply power on your BACtrack S80 and begin testing in seconds.
  • LCD Screen - BAC results are displayed on a bright, easy-to-read LCD display.
  • DOT/NHTSA Tested and Compliant - Meets all federal requirements for a breath alcohol screening device.
  • Extra Mouthpieces - Includes six additional mouthpieces, making it easy and sanitary to test your friends and family.
  • Warranty - All BACtrack breathalyzers are backed by a full one-year warranty, when purchased from an authorized retailer.

Wouldn't you think that people buying this device were actually trying to be responsible? If you dgaf, then why spend over $100 on a high end breathalyzer?

If you're actually trying to be responsible you simply don't drink if you're planning to drive any time in the near future. No need for any $100 accessories.

So, you don't drink for the entire day, the week… the month? So, I meet a friend for lunch and I can't have a single glass of wine all day because at some point in the day I might drive? You do realize the legal limit is .08 BAC and not 0.00 (assuming you're at least 21, ofc)

"the entire day, the week... the month"? C'mon now, the average adult male takes an hour to metabolize a single drink (12 ounces of beer, four ounces of wine or 1-1/4 ounces of 80 proof distilled spirits) and return your BAC to 0.00. Unless someone's forcing you to drink at gunpoint, it's very easy to simply have your drink and then wait an hour before driving. It'd be silly to pretend like you have to either become a teetotaler or buy a breathalyzer to not drink and drive.

I'm glad you posted this btw and my original comment wasn't even anti-breathalyzer/this post but rather completely innocuous goofing on the use of the word "Professional" in the name. I get we have a lot of jerks running around in these forums though so I get why you might feel the need to be in defense mode. I'd much rather have deals for odd stuff like this being posted than the deluge of sponsored garbage.

I'm not defensive of the deal - the reality is this is the best price on the best consumer breathalyzer I've seen in years. So, the deal is solid - but people vote it down due to their personal opinion on consumer breathalyzers and not due to the deal. If that's not the case, then show me (you or anyone else) a better deal on a BACtrack S80 in the last 3 years.

Also, I wasn't really being facetious about - when can you drink if you drive? You're making it out to be a science project and that's not how real life works. Trust me, I understand how BAC works and the absorption of one drink per hour... but that "one drink" standard is based on something like one 12 oz beer with 4% alcohol... but what if you take 20 mins to drink your beer, and what if your beer is a 7% ABV? What if you have a glass of wine, but the glass isn't uniform, and the ABV in wines can range from 8% - 14%? What if you have two drinks in two hours and haven't completely absorbed the first drink, but you weigh 250 lbs? What if you're not using your stop watch after every drink and don't recall if you finished that last beer an hour ago or 45 mins ago? Hence... the reason why these are valuable. I really don't get the hate for a breathalyzer.. I get the misunderstanding and prejudice, but for those that understand its use, I don't get the hate. It's like hating condoms because you don't agree with premarital sex.

Hey man, we could probably argue about this for awhile and write walls of text to each other for a good many volleys, but I appreciate your perspective even if I disagree with you on the utility of this item for the average person vs just not drinking if you plan to drive later that day. Have a good one and thanks for posting.
