Portable breathalysers for consumer market
Angus MacArthur, GM of the company Alcohol Breathalysers, one of South Africa's leading suppliers of affordable re-usable breathalyser equipment for individuals, businesses and industry suggests that parents may want to encourage the use of breathalysers for young people celebrating the end of year festivities too rashly.
"The reality is that drinking amongst teenagers and young adults happens in South Africa. Parents have a responsibility to educate their families about the effects of excessive drinking and provide them with ways to ensure that if they do drink, they do so responsibly," he says.
Giving a young adult a personal breathalyser helps to ease the peer pressure of getting into a car with someone they suspect to be drunk. An instant breath alcohol test deters drunk driving. Theses breathalysers are accessible to the public, so parents will not have difficulty in sourcing quality breathalysers that are easy to use. The personal digital models are inexpensive, easy to operate and the safety benefits are immeasurable.
