Portable breathalyzers have come a long way in recent years, so they’re now more accurate than ever. This is hugely topical right now with the holidays fast approaching, since incidents of drunk driving skyrocket around the holidays. Our favorite model we’ve tested is the BACtrack C8 Personal Breathalyzer, which uses the same technology found in the breathalyzers used by law enforcement. The C8 also has a cool feature you won’t find on most models: It provides an approximate amount of time before you’re sober again! It’s worth every penny at $99.99, but it just went on sale for the first time ever. Clip the $25 coupon on Amazon and you can snag one for just $74.99, which is an absolute steal.
