iBreath, the iPhone Breathalyzer, is the Hip Alcoholic Must-Have Holiday Gift

Do you love Apple almost as much as alcohol? If so we may just have the holiday gift for you. Recently the hipster electronics brand of choice released the iBreath, an attachment for the iPhone which measures blood alcohol level.

 

The LA Times reports:

A new product called the iBreath turns Apple Inc.'s iPod into an alcohol breathalyzer.


The $79 accessory plugs into the base of the iPod and functions like a field sobriety test. The person using the iBreath exhales into a retractable "blow wand" and the internal sensor measures the blood-alcohol content. Within two seconds, it displays the results on an LED screen. A reading of 0.08 or above sets off an alarm, signaling a blood-alcohol level above the legal limit in all 50 states.

 

"We are absolutely not advocating drinking and driving, but we know that people just don't observe that," said Don Bassler, chief executive and founder of David Steele Enterprises Inc. in Newport Beach, an online retailer and creator of the iBreath. "We don't want people to think that this makes it all OK, but it's a safety device that we hope people will use, and it may save lives."

Are you in love yet? We certainly are. The iBreath has given us a needed dose of holiday cheer. And it's a great stocking stuffer for cool cops. Wait, is that an oxymoron?
