There was an Urban Myths show on TLC I believe that 'proved' that you couldn't beat a breathalizer. They tried mints, various liquids, holding pennies in their mouths, and even denture cream 
Bottom line was that you can't use little gimmics to get out of blowing red, supposedly.

Why would you want to "beat" a breathalizer? Just don't drive home drunk! (and anyone who does is a complete and utter moron).... [/b][/quote]
BTW the show was myth busters, and it was on discovery.
Basically, the theory behind it is that if you take a swig of either alchohol or mouth wash, just before you get tested, it will register higher on the test.
So, it could be a way to beat the ticket saying that you had just taken 1 big drink of beer or what ever, and then blow into the breathalizer. You aren't drunk, but the test may show you are.
