I picked this up for a Secret Santa gift, but I’m thinking of getting one for myself. I have zero doubts that’s it’s absolute rubbish and not at all to be trusted, and yet… and yet… I’d really like to test my booze levels about 4pm on Christmas Day.
For the proper compensation, I will come to your home, and after every time you use this abomination, I will use my command voice to announce, “Gotta pump those numbers. Those are rookie numbers in this racket.”
For an additional charge, Havok will chime in with an Aussie, Aussie, Aussie. Oi, Oi, Oi .
Well it already had a power button and batteries and some other LEDs. A torch probably just brings it up to feature-parity with all the other novelty keyring fobs.
Or: to help you find the keyhole while you're weaving from side to side, so that you can sit down more comfortably to take a few breaths before blowing into the open-end part?
Once upon a time I had reason to pay attention to health research, including what was discussed in media (this was before social media) about health research. One day as I was on my commute into the circus I listened to a piece about research findings that men, standing around the barbecue, on average tend to drink more on Christmas day than other days.
I am thinking of doing a short study into this phenomenon in the lead up to Christmas, then compare that to the gathering on Christmas day. All for science of course, broken down by time of day v drink type v ambient temperature v salty snack availability.
I love those sorts of stories, because (at least back in the day, before posting pre-prints were a thing) you know that the "research" was worthy of the name. They would have had to collect representative samples of the appropriate size and demographic distribution. Tested over a number of representative Christmas days, against a base-line that was itself rigorously tested. There would have been maths (statistics) involved. Justifications. Exposition of method.
All to tell you something that was certain to be true.
The one thing I can aver regarding ABTs is that it is a very, very bad idea to take one to the pub with you. Everyone wants a go and guys get awfully competitive.

Why does it have the "My Kitchen" guarantee? "Step away from the knives, sir, I'm afraid you're too pissed to cook".
I hesitate to ask, but here goes: why does it need an LED torch function?

That is an excellent question.
As far as the booze level goes, all you will know is that you’re over 0.05, but not by how much, which is your known unknown already.

Well gosh.
True story.
Whaaaaaat?!?
It beggars belief, I know. That's why we science.

But where would you get an accurate baseline from given the propensity for imbibation.

You're going to blow way past .05 and you know it. So why throw 12 bucks down the drain? But hey, it DOES have the pretty awesome LED torch function.
