Alcohawk Elite
This handheld drinking game measures who’s king of the lushes — first person to 0.08 wins! Wait … it’s a Breathalyzer? Oh, I see. To test it, I threw back a shot of vodka, blew into the plastic tube, and measured 0.40 — a level the instruction manual associated with “coma and possible death.” As the Alcohawk chirped away its warning of my impending demise, the instructions revealed that the blood-alcohol content reading works accurately only after a 20-minute lull in drinking, eating, or smoking. So I took three (or four … can’t remember) more shots and waited. After 30 minutes, I blew. My score was a 0.07, a level associated with “impairment of balance, speech, vision, and reaction time.” Great, now I’ve got an excuse for being so sloppy. But there’s no law against writing drunk, so here I am cranking out a review. What was I saying? Wheee! – B.L.
