BACtrack S80 Breathalyzer
The breathalyzer, BACtrack S80 Breathalyzer, will be calibrated per manufacturer's recommendations before each reading will be taken. Participants will administer the breathalyzer test on themselves. They will be instructed on how to hold and blow into the breathalyzer machine.
