Each year, states enact more stringent DUI laws and more severe drunk driving penalties. Drinkers could lose their driving license, be placed in jail, and fined substantial fees. Car insurance rates may rise and drinkers could end up with criminal convictions on their record that could impact their lives and their employment opportunities.

In recent news, the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control has suspended the license to serve alcohol of a Utah bar. This followed an investigation that began when two young men died in a fiery car crash Jan. 15, 2001, caused by an impaired driver who says he spent the night of the crash slugging back four to five drinks an hour at the local bar.

This vending breathalyzer machine is a step in the right direction for any responsible bar owner. While our vending breathalyzer machine cannot eliminate irresponsible drunk driving entirely, but it will help those who value their own lives and the lives of others and exercise the caution needled to get home safely. Installing the AlcoScan AL3500 in your bar promotes safe drinking practices for patrons.
