A breathalyzer was created to estimating blood alcohol content (BAC). The purpose of the breathalyzer was to provide a non-invasive test with immediate results to determine an individual's BAC at the time of testing. Breathalyzers do not determine the level of intoxication, as this varies by an individual‘s alcohol tolerance. The BAC test result itself can vary between subjects consuming identical amounts of alcohol, due to gender, weight, or genetics.
Breath analyzers do not directly measure blood alcohol content or concentration, which requires the analysis of a blood sample. Instead, they estimate BAC indirectly by measuring the amount of alcohol in one's breath. Regardless of the type of breathalyzer device, they all have a way in which
