- Only air from the lowest portion of your lungs can render an accurate BAC percentage. This air is called alveolar breath. Unfortunately, in many cases, the air tested by an Intoxilyzer comes from the air in your mouth, which contains “mouth alcohol” or the actual alcohol still in your mouth. Mouth alcohol returns inaccurately high results as it contains the alcohol in your blood, which you are releasing by breathing as well as actual alcohol still in your mouth.
- The intoxilyzer machine relies on a flawed premise, every person has the same blood-breath ration of 2100/1. This number represents 2,100 units of alcohol in your breath equals one unit of alcohol in your actual blood stream. However, no two humans are identical and this over simplification of human anatomy and physiology may result in your being wrongly charged with DUI.
