Today's DWI Headlines

Did You Know?
  • MADD or Mothers Against Drunk Driving - a non-profit organization in the United States. In the 1980s, MADD had tremendous success in changing public attitudes and laws regarding driving under the influence.
  • Driving after consuming alcohol - generally not illegal in the U.S. unless the driver’s ability to drive safely is impaired as defined by law.
  • Breathalyzer Myths - a common myth is that breath testers can be fooled (to make one's blood alcohol content appear lower) by using certain substances. An episode of the Discovery Channel's MythBusters tested substances usually recommended in this practice -- such as breath mints, mouthwash, and onion -- and found them to be ineffective. Adding an odor to mask the smell of alcohol might fool a person, but does not change the actual alcohol concentration in the body or on the breath.
  • BAC - blood alcohol concentration.
  • Breathalyser or breathalyzer - a device for estimating blood alcohol content BAC from a breath sample. Breathalyzer is the brand name of one manufacturer of these instruments, but has become a generic trademark for all such instruments. Intoxilyzer, Alcosensor, Alcoscan, and BAC Datamaster are other common brand names.
