There are a few devices on the market claiming to accurately test your blood alcohol level from a device that connects to your phone. The idea is that you are out drinking with friends. Your not sure if you had too much to drink. You take this device out of your pocket and you connect it to your phone. You can blow into the device just as you would a breathalyzer machine at a police station and you are supposed to know right away if your alcohol level is above the legal limit, which is 0.08 in New Jersey.

A recent test done compared results of three popular devices to an actual police breathalyzer machine.  The results are astonishing and worrisome at the same time.  In none of the cases did the device produce the same result as an actual breathalyzer machine.
