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)....

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.[/b][/quote]
They were doing it to raise their blood-alcohol? I don't think so, the point of the show was to investigate myths that lowered your blood-alcohol. Why would you try to raise it quickly, and how would that get you out of a ticket? A cop pulls you over, so you take a swig of mouthwash so you can brag that you drank one beer? That would be a little strange.

Uh huh. Why would you ever want to shoot someone? And yet gun research continues... what a crazy world. Some things are done for the sake of interest and information... like surfing and posting on a message board.
