Ever want to take your own alcohol breath test so you know what you'd blow if - just theoretically, of course - you were pulled over by the cops? Popular with Hollywood types - Lindsay Lohan has three - is a product called iBreath, a nifty little doohickey that connects directly to an iPhone (News - Alert) or iPod and lets you know your blood-alcohol level. 

 

About the size of a large key ring, you simply fold out the blow wand and exhale into it for at least five seconds. Two seconds later, the iBreath Breathalyzer will display the user's current alcohol levels and whether they - not you, of course, the guy borrowing it from you - are over the legal limit to drive.

 

Another handy feature is a built-in timer that can be set from one minute up to eight hours in order to remind users when it's time for the next test. It's currently being offered with a $30.00 discount.

The National Center for Injury and Preventions Control reports that "alcohol-related motor vehicle accidents kill someone every 31 minutes, and injure someone every two minutes in the United States alone."

 

The manufacturers of iBreath Alcohol Breathalyzer, after factoring in the fines, lost driver's licenses and jail time for drunk driving offenders, smelled a lucrative market and offered this gizmo at $89.00. Well, today it's yours for $59.00.

The iBreath was labeled the "Best iPod Accessory Ever!" by Gizmodo.com, and comes with a personal endorsement from Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte Stallworth. It basically gives you a pretty good idea what your alcohol breath level is, but of course David Steele Enterprises, the manufacturer, is exquisitely lawyered up and "makes no warranties, express or implied, as to the ability of this device to determine whether a user is intoxicated or able to operate machinery or a motor vehicle in a safe manner."

 

Oh yeah -- this reporter does not recommend drinking and driving.
