Anyone got one?
I had some junk mail for one this morning. Says it is calibrated to UK limit and costs £34.95.
Often I am over cautious the "morning after" as I prefer to be safe not sorry.
Wondered how accurate these things are compared to being breathalised by the device the Police use?
Coming up to Xmas, i.e. drinking season
it seems like a sensible thing to have?

I never drink a drop when I have the car.
I was really meaning for "the morning after" - as stated. Yes you can roughly calculate the nr units versus nr hours passed but maybe a device such as this would make it less of a guess - if they are any good. Hence question, and post...

Never mind the morning after, 3 days later for me and I was stopped and it was borderline 
I never drive the day after now, it's just not worth it IMO

Velryba's Chick (I just know I spelt that wrong) has one and I used it once at the Guildford night out last year.
Apparently to TGI Ultimate cocktails put you over the limit!
I am not sure how accurate it is/was though.

na really this is quite worrying, Ive driven home on a Sat afternoon feeling ropey after a big friday night out, I really reckon that I was probably over the limit hearing this. never again.

****. rubbish. total crap.
i know it's for morning after but even if u have a mouthful of beer it will read totally over limit immediately.
mines now broke??? after a few goes, it always says max over limit even when u turn it on.

Mine is very accurate. On New Years Eve 2000 a bunch of friends raced ourselves using it 
It was noticable how people with smaller body mass got higher readings on the same amount of alcohol. And the heavy drinkers tended to have close to 3 pints before being over the limit.
Oh and on that 72 pints thing, it's usually 2 units per pint so only 36 pints
