I drove through one last week (first checkstop I’ve been through in 15 years) I had had 1 pint after a hockey game.

I rolled up. It was spread across crowchild by the old viscount bennett and they stopped everyone (not a lot of cars on the road) the cop read a blurb to me that Alberta law requires a breath sample and brought out the machine and put it together. He asked if I had a drink in the last 15 mins and if I had smoked (didn’t specify what) in the last 15 mins. I said no to both

Gave me the test. Waited 45 seconds and he held it in front of me as it beeped 0

(Didn’t show decimals which I thought was weird. granted I’ve never taken one before). I asked him how long law has been in effect and he said one day and the public reception to it has been very positive. (Totall BS I’m sure)
Even after 1 beer I was nervous.
