Safeguarding against drunkenness with innovative breathalyzers
Implications - According to the 2008 Traffic Safety Annual Assessment by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), one person dies in a drunk-driving accident every 50 minutes. This is a shocking statistic that highlights the problem of drinking and driving in our society, and has perhaps served to push innovators into creating new and portable tools for measuring drunkenness. These innovative breathalyzer systems, which range from watches to clothing, encourage consumers to be extra cautious before getting behind the wheel and help to underline the fact that it's never okay to drink and drive.
