Unboxing and Testing the AlcoSense Excel Breathalyser - Getting drunk for SCIENCE!

If you're a driver and you like alcohol, you might have had those mornings the morning after when you're thinking.. "I'm sure I'm okay to drive... But, what if I'm not?!". Now you can take that ponderance out of your mind.
With Christmas coming up and a season of semi festive cheer heading our way, the cool kids at AlcoSense (alcosense.co.uk/) sent me their Alcosense Excel Breathalyser (UK - amzn.to/2I7BJIA ) to unbox and test.
The AlcoSense Excel includes a 64mm2 version of exactly the same Fuel Cell sensor used by Police breathalysers. The Excel’s sensor is identical to the law enforcement version, just smaller, giving the Excel unrivaled accuracy at this price point.
The AlcoSense Excel can be set to any limit, anywhere in the world. You can adjust the units of measure between mg/L (breath alcohol) and ‰BAC (blood alcohol) readings, the drink-drive limit and blood breath ratio. If you’re traveling abroad all you need to do is set the three parameters according to the table in the user manual. Ideal for cross border or even cross-continent travel.
Can this pocket-sized device spot if I've had a beverage or two? I decided to try it, in the name of science!

Thanks buddy!

Glad you liked it!! xx

[@bulbasaurbrutal5137]

I love you Britbong!

[@kiphakes]

Eh?

[@stinkerboo5028]

Interesting video, do you know if you can set it so that it shows 35 being the legal limit , so it would be showing on screen an actual number rather than a percentage ?

[@kiphakes]

Yes you can change it.

[@stinkerboo5028]

Oh lordy.. Not that cheeky chap Adam! Thanks so much for swinging by x

Not sure how you can say it does the job when you've drank what you said you did, said you didnt feel confident to drive, yet it says you're not even 1/3 of the way to the limit of 0.8%?? Think this confirms its not worth the money, the cheap tubes are probably better as they're based on a chemical reaction so I imagine they're more reliable

[@tommyzee589]

It does the job as it tells you level of alcohol in your blood. I think you should direct your complaint at UK drink drive limit as its set so high.

[@Fromatic]

@@tommyzee589 the limit is fine. It's subjective but I don't think it tells you accurately if it told him he was nowhere close to the limit but he didn't feel confident to drive

[@evbear561]

@@Fromatic The limit in England, Wales and NI is too high, its the highest in Europe and you can be drunk and still be very much under the limit.
