Q. Does peanut butter help you pass a breathalyzer?

Q. What can cause a false positive breathalyzer test?
Here are four reasons breathalyzer tests may issue a false positive:
- You took the test too quickly after drinking. Breathalyzer tests measure the concentration of alcohol in your bloodstream.
- Officers did not calibrate the test correctly.
- You ate certain foods.
- You have certain medical conditions.
Q. Can a breathalyzer be wrong?
The results of the test may be used as evidence of an over-the-limit blood alcohol level, but many factors can affect the accuracy of a breath test. In fact, peer-reviewed studies have shown a 50 percent margin of error when comparing breathalyzer results to actual blood alcohol content.
Q. Can ketoacidosis affect a breathalyzer?
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a severe medical condition involving the uncontrolled hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis that results from impaired insulin utilization. In the absence of recent alcohol intake, the elevated breathalyzer reading is associated with the Sailor’s metabolic ketoacidosis.
