INDEPENDENCE, Iowa (September 2, 2005) - Q3 Innovations, LLC, maker of the FDA-cleared Alcohawk® line of digital breath alcohol screeners, announces the relocation of its headquarters to Independence, Iowa.
The new headquarters are located at 2349 Jamestown Avenue. The centrally located office is adjacent to Highway 20, near Waterloo and Cedar Rapids.
“We’re a fast-growing company, so it was in our best interest to move to a larger office with the amount of space necessary to accommodate an expanding company,” said Brian C. Eddy, chief executive officer of Q3 Innovations, LLC. “Logistically, it made the most sense to move to a central location, like Iowa, for an even more efficient distribution of our products. As a University of Iowa and University of Iowa College of Law graduate, I also knew that this was a great state to find and recruit some of the brightest people in the country.”
The company’s Alcohawk® line of digital breath alcohol screeners are sold at The Sharper Image stores nationwide as well as several online retailers, including Target.com, Breathalyzer.net, Q3ATS.com and FusionTank.com. Prices range from the $59.99 Alcohawk® Micro keychain unit to the high-end $149.99 Alcohawk® Elite. The screeners are ideal to use on friends and family members to ensure they are sober before driving home. Many parents and schools have also purchased them to use as an underage drinking deterrent.

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.
