How to cheat the breathalyzer: useful tips

The government of the Russian Federation regularly tightens penalties for driving a car, motorcycle and other vehicles while intoxicated. In addition to the potential punishment, it is worth noting the tendency towards lowering the established threshold for the content of alcohol in ppm. So, in 2013, it was allowed to drive a car to persons whose blood alcohol content did not exceed 0.3 per thousand, in 2016 it was 0.16.

It is important to understand that it is almost impossible to deceive a modern breathalyzer because it has special sensors that allow police officers to determine whether a suspected driver has breathed out or not (some models even display the amount of air in ml on the display).Previously, this method was quite popular among drunk drivers: it was enough just to close the opening with the tongue and to be able to inflate the cheeks simultaneously; now such a cunning trick will not succeed.

It is important: to know in what ways it is possible to deceive the Alcostuster, every policeman must, in order to prevent the caught drunk driver from driving further this or that vehicle.

There are quite a lot of methods, they all use certain deficiencies of the measuring device, for example, the increased sensitivity of sensors installed on the isthmus between the housing and the receiving tube. However, such drawbacks are absent in modern electronic breathalyzers, that is why it is not recommended to get behind the wheel of a car while intoxicated, relying on their operation.

This article describes several ways of cheating Alcotester, which have different principles of action:

1. The first are based on the adoption of any products and drugs that slow down the absorption of alcohol and, as a consequence, the process of intoxication in general.
2. The latter have the opposite effect, seeking to remove alcohol from the body as quickly as possible.
3. The latter have the best effect, but are very short-lived.

Receiving products and drugs that slow down the absorption of alcohol

Stand out in this group of products is lean vegetable oil, which will help to cheat the breathalyzer, but only during the first half hour after alcohol has entered the body. The fact is that the particles of oil, being in very close connection with each other, so firmly envelop the walls of the esophagus, intestines, as well as the oral cavity and the surface of the tongue on both sides, as if wrapped in a plastic bag that the particles of alcohol literally cannot get inside and just go further into the stomach, where they will dissolve and decompose in the aforementioned half hour.

By the way, the myth is quite common that if you take some vegetable oil after drinking alcoholic beverages, this will promote the rapid elimination of alcohol from the body in a natural way, and the readings of the breathalyzer will also be close to their normal values. This opinion is fundamentally wrong, since the breathalyzer takes air for a sample, which is exhaled from the lungs, which after a hangover for about 10 hours will still contain vapors of alcohol.So, cheat the breathalyzer after a hangover using this method will not work.

Tip: since the vegetable oil has a fairly strong laxative effect, after taking a relatively small amount of alcoholic beverages, you can use it only for the fastest removal of harmful substances from the body.

A better way to cheat Alcohol Tester is to eat fatty food in a much larger amount than on a regular day: for example, if you eat, for example, several hamburgers from McDonald's, KFC or Burger King or pizza pieces, then the process of drunkenness will take much more time, rather than in a normal situation. The abundance of complex fats, which the body must break down and set aside for a limited amount of time, causes it to literally “put off” the process of absorbing alcohol for later. Therefore, it is obvious that after each drunk of a milliliter of one or another alcoholic drink, it is necessary to immediately eat something fatty.

The use of methods that accelerate the elimination of alcohol from the body

Biologically active supplements of the “Antipolitsai” series, which act on the principle of a classic laxative, have received quite a broad advertising campaign, but with the only difference that these supplements act more selectively, exposing the molecules necessary for elimination. According to numerous reviews on various forums of the Runet and tablets and sprays of the series can reduce the time of removal of alcohol from the body for several hours. In addition, the drug "Antipolitsai" is able to almost completely remove the hangover syndrome, so taking it together with various headache remedies is highly discouraged - fraught with the appearance of even stronger discomfort.

One of the most effective ways to quickly remove alcohol from the body is a visit to the bath, sauna or steam room. It is important that it is very heated, and to be inside it for more than 5-7 minutes was simply impossible. This method works with all people without exception, because it does not depend on the individual characteristics of the organism, causing it to get rid of moisture and other harmful substances as soon as possible.

Important: he has one minus, albeit a significant one: the process is quite long. So, to remove all the substances read by the device contained in one liter of a low-alcohol beverage, it will take at least 2.5-3 hours to stay in the bath.

However, if it is necessary to go, for example, in the morning, and in the evening - “drink to the company”, then this way is completely entitled to life. Obviously, to withdraw substances of stronger alcoholic beverages in such a short time will not work.

Partly help get rid of a hangover and remove from the body of alcohol and the implementation of any physical exercise, forcing to sweat profusely. These include, first of all, cardio exercises (especially running and swimming), as well as classical push-ups, pull-ups, and so on. Again, the method is suitable in case of a slight intoxication.

Important: however, this method is not recommended by doctors and nutritionists due to the large load on the cardiovascular system.

Also, activated charcoal, which literally causes the body to dispose of toxic elements by any means, is able to help remove excess substances from the body, alcohol and its decomposition products.The adoption of activated carbon has one side effect: increased gas formation, which will last for 5-6 hours after taking the pills inside.

Tip: It is recommended to use one tablet per kilogram of body weight, but if it is necessary for a breathalyzer to “sober up” as soon as possible, you can use two. However, resorting to this emergency method more often than once a year is not recommended.

Short term methods

The most effective method of a full-fledged breathalyzer is to carry out a pulmonary ventilation anticipating the alcohol content test procedure through several quick but deep cycles of inhalation and exhalation of air. Thus, it is possible to achieve a decrease in almost two times, which means that it will work with a blood alcohol content of 0.32-0.38 ppm, that is, with slight intoxication.

A gulp of a cup of coffee or strong tea right before the test will help you change the readings. The action of these drinks will continue for a maximum of one and a half minutes, so it’s necessary to figure out exactly how to have time to drink a few hundred milliliters before an inspector.

If the facial muscles allow, then the breathalyzer can be deceived with the help of intermittent breathing technique, which consists in partial intake of air from the outside. It is obvious that in this case it will be necessary to blow into the device anyway in order for certain motion sensors to work. The main difficulty of applying this method is that it will be necessary to carry out the described procedures under the supervision of a traffic police officer.

Ways by which it is impossible to cheat the breathalyzer

Toughening penalties for drunk driving and lowering the value of the permissible alcohol content inevitably entails the emergence of a huge number of "miraculous" drugs, supposedly capable of removing alcohol in 2-3 hours without side effects. Therefore, it is important to always get acquainted with the composition of these or other means before purchasing them, and also to understand which elements do not contribute to the elimination of toxins from the body.

The content in the composition of mint, sweet ingredients and any herbs and deodorants affects the readings of the breathalyzer in a completely different way in which I would like, namely:

1. Alcohol inhibits the excretion of sugar from the body,therefore, after consuming any kind of alcoholic beverages and subsequent sweets, disturbances in the work of the digestive system are likely to occur, and in the future - the development of glypoglycemia.
2. The content of plant herbs and their elements cannot in any way “dilute” the air in the lungs saturated with vapors with alcohol, therefore their effect on the elimination of alcohol can be equated to zero.
3. The use of menthol deodorants only leads to an increase in performance, since in most cases they contain ethyl alcohol.

The calculation of all indications modern breathalyzers do on the basis of carrying out some chemical reactions, because to change the readings of the device, simply removing the smell with the help of herbs and deodorants, will not work.

Also, the situation is only aggravated by holding the breath or closing the opening with the tongue: modern Alcohol Testers can even take a sample with a relatively small amount of air, because all those alcohol vapors that are deposited on the inside of the tongue will get to the reading elements. If the amount of received air is still not enough, the device signals this with a special display on the screen.

The secret to the passage of any breathalyzer is that:

1. Take alcoholic beverages should always be only in those quantities that are allowed by the laws of the Russian Federation.
2. It is necessary to sober up well after taking alcohol in large volumes before getting behind the wheel of a car.

Each driver must remember that on the road he must control himself 100% in order to react in time to every movement of nearby vehicles. Driving on the road and, especially, the highway, the driver takes responsibility not only for people traveling in his own car, but also indirectly for all those that move on the roadway.
