    where could i find one for like maybe 30euro tops... this whole idea of getting caught the morning after is way too rough. i'd rather use a breathalyzer nd take the bus.

    someone mentioned that zhivago had them or were they jus talkin shíte?

    I wouldn't trust them mate but I'm nearly sure I say them in Conboys or Cunniffes

    I wouldn't trust a re-usable €30 one to be honest. I got a proper digital one for €100 in the chemist in the Galway Shopping Center. Paid for itself that weekend!

    There are disposable chemical ones that I've seen in some supermarkets for about €7, donno how accurate they'd be though.

    100quid seems pretty rough... worth it tho. ebay maybe?

    On-line's your best bet probably, though a quick ebay search isn't showing massive savings on the good ones. I would have done that except I needed it for the next day. The one I got is called the Alcologic Personal Breathalyzer.

    Google throws up a few suggestions
    www.irishbreathalyzershop.ie
    www.alcologic.ie
    www.testers.ie/specs.htm

    Seems alcologic can be bought in pharmacies.

    fuk, according to the table on one of the links, i shouldn't have driven till about 3 or 4 o clock today.... :eek:


    definately gettin a breathalyzer very soon.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,005 ✭✭✭GalwayKiefer


    Its scary how long alcohol stays in the system alright. First time I used mine I'd had a big night out the night before (pub/club/pints/shots) and waited until lunchtime the next day before getting the breathalyzer out to see if i could drive yet - I was still TWICE over the limit. At 9pm that night I still had enough alcohol in my system to get a low warning off the machine. :eek:
