I have a coworker who looked into trying to buy such a device for himself, to keep himself out of trouble. He gave up. If you want to just go out and buy one, it's not an easy task at all.
I would have no problem at all with such devices being standard equipment. If society is going to encourage drinking, then it's society's responsibility to provide means to do so responsibly.
The other option is to go back to city living, with at least one tavern on pretty much every streetcorner. Then after drinking themselves into a stupor, people can just walk home. Like Mike Royko used to say, if they pass out in the street on the way home, at least they didn't hurt anyone.
Since that latter option isn't going to happen (society also dictates that people live in segregated, suburban McMansions), breathalyzers as standard equipment seems to be the best option. Or at the very least make it possible for someone with good intentions to buy one.[ Reply to This | Parent ]
