That was tried 20-25 years ago,because of timelines there were too many inaccurate readings, a person can "sip" on booze for hours,then slam back 2 or 3 drinks at the end of the night and the unit would show their sober...1/2 hour later their hammered.
The biggest problem in all this is everyone is different, to some people they feel completely sober at .08 and other people can hardly talk.
There should be a test for how a person reacts to alcohol, I know I would be awful pissed off it I had my car towed for having 2-3 beers after work or having a glass of wine with dinner.
The old days they made you walk the line with your arms stretched out and then with one hand covering an eye. Sometimes I think it was a better method.
