BACtrack was prominently featured in USA Today’s article about personal breathalyzers. The reporter discusses the increasing popularity of breathalyzers and shares insights from BACtrack users, when and why they use a BACtrack.

The reporter also interviews researchers in the alcohol use and addiction space.
