In the January 23rd episode of the Dr. Phil show, titled “Under the Influence,” Dr. Phil discusses the dangers of driving under the influence. In the segment, he shares compelling stories about individuals that have suffered the consequences of drinking and driving, both directly and indirectly, and more.

BACtrack Breathalyzers and BACtrack President and CEO Keith Nothacker were featured on the “Ask Oprah’s All-Stars” Television Show on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN).
The show features Oprah’s favorite experts, Dr. Phil, Suze Orman, and Dr. Oz, and is moderated by Gayle King. On the episode, “20 Questions from 20-Somethings,” audience member Brandy asks the experts how long it takes to sober up before it’s okay to drive.
Brandy, who has had five shots of vodka prior to the show, is tested with the best-selling BACtrack S80 Pro breathalyzer two times during the show. Dr. Oz discusses how much time is generally needed for the body to process alcohol, and Dr. Phil adds, “…there’s no reason you should ever get a DUI when you have one of these (a breathalyzer) because you can check yourself.”
“…the BACtrack Select S80 Breathalyzer ($249) had a readout to an extra digit—worth it to the guest who wracked up a .079% score, just shy of the .08% limit.” The WSJ article is a great read for understanding how drinking alcohol affects your Blood Alcohol Content (BAC).

The 14th Annual Kendall-Jackson Heirloom Tomato Festival was held this past Saturday, September 11th, in beautiful Sonoma County Wine Country. In addition to the more than 170 varieties of heirloom tomatoes available for sampling, gourmet food tastings, Kendall-Jackson wines, and live entertainment, there was something new: voluntary breathalyzer tests.
Kendall-Jackson had invited San Francisco-based BACtrack to provide voluntary breathalyzer tests for visitors’ education and safety. And Matthew Sammons, Vice President of Sales for BACtrack, was on hand to help administer the tests.
According to Sammons, some testers with high results waited for more time to pass before re-testing and then leaving the event; however, guests that showed any reading above 0.01%, received a cautionary warning. Any amount of alcohol can impair the senses — even when a person’s BAC (blood alcohol content) is well below the legal limit.
Michael Sheehan, best known as the HighTechDad at his well-read and interesting blog of the same name, put the BACtrack S75 Pro to the test.
Check out his blog post to read his thorough review and to find out just what happened when he brought the BACtrack S75 Pro along to a wine tasting dinner party for some real-world testing.
To give you a preview, he discovered first-hand that BAC levels varied greatly from person to person and depending on factors like a person’s metabolism rate and how much food they’ve consumed.
In fact, this is just one of the reasons why breathalyzers are so valuable: — they provide the user with an understanding of how alcohol affects the body, which does vary with each person and with each time that alcohol is consumed.
