Measure
Commercial Smartphone-paired Breathalyzers-Set 1
Smartphone-paired mobile breathalyzer-Set 1: All subjects will first be given a priming dose of alcohol containing vodka designed to raise the blood alcohol content based on weight and gender. Blood alcohol content will first be measured with three commercial smartphone-paired breathalyzers: Drivesafe Evoc, Alcohoot, and BacTrack Pro which will be tested in a randomized order and recorded. Participants' blood alcohol content will also be measured using the Intoxilyzer 240, a police grade breathalyzer device. After the tertiary dose of alcohol, a nurse will perform a blood draw on the participants, which will be used to determine blood alcohol content.
Commercial Smartphone-paired Breathalyzers-Set 2
Smartphone-paired mobile breathalyzer-Set 2: All subjects will first be given a priming dose of alcohol containing vodka designed to raise the blood alcohol content based on weight and gender. Blood alcohol content will first be measured with three commercial smartphone-paired breathalyzers: BACtrack Vio, Drinkmate, and Floome which will be tested in a randomized order and recorded. Participants' blood alcohol content will also be measured using the Intoxilyzer 240, a police grade breathalyzer device. After the tertiary dose of alcohol, a nurse will perform a blood draw on the participants, which will be used to determine blood alcohol content.
