Tanita Alcohol Checker EA-100

Blood alcohol content detection device

Judging only from Tokyo, many people think that the Japanese never drive and always get around by train. But in the third car-producing country of the world, there are of course tens of millions of people who drive. And if you combine that with the fact that the Japanese also drink a lot, drunk driving is a serious problem, only mitigated by the general Japanese adherence to the law and by the availability of portable breathalyzers like the Tanita Alcohol Checker EA-100, which allows you to know when you have had one cup of sake too much.

The operating word is "portable": the Tanita Alcohol Checker EA-100 is just 0.7 x 1.3 x 4.1 mm (1.2 x 4.7 x 0.7") and weighs a mere 31 g (1 oz), so you can always have it with you, in your bag or even the breast pocket of your suit or shirt. It's powered by two LR03 batteries and has a small LCD screen that shows your blood alcohol level present in your breath. It can measure quantities from zero to 0.50 mg – i.e., from none to dangerously high! And since this is an accessory you can always have with you, it comes in two colors, navy and white.
