Why should I have a Breathalyzer in my bar?
Breathalyzer use is clearly a win-win relationship for all. Your customers appreciate you caring about their safety. Your bartenders can avoid confrontation with customers who seem intoxicated by asking them to pass the test before serving them another drink. Having a Breathalyzer machine in your establishment can protect you and your venue from third party liquor liability lawsuits. Encouraging patrons to test their sobriety level before driving is a proactive measure that impresses law enforcement personnel. Offering a B.A.C. testing device indicates you have offered responsible assistance at the point of their consumption. The Impair Aware Alcohol Level Indication System transfers your liability for the actions of your patrons and places it where it belongs, on the shoulders of the driver.
Can I be held liable for a patrons BAC test reading?
Breathalyzer results are not recorded. There is no printed record of the test. Additionally, the machine carries a legal disclaimer, which indicates that the results are hearsay as far as the law is concerned. The machine's results do not indicate that a person is ever okay to drive. The machine only states their blood alcohol level numerically. It draws attention to their impairment and suggests they wait or avoid driving until they are not over the legal limit. The disclaimer informs its user that they are responsible for their decisions, regardless of the results of the self-administered test. Additionally, no self administered B.A.C. test can be used against a person in a court of law. In fact, in order for breath alcohol test to be admissible as evidence, it would have to be administered by an expert in a controlled setting. That is why the police have specific policies and procedures for administering BAC tests.
