‘Go Home, You’re Drunk’ Says New iPhone Breathalyzer Dongle

Or rather, “have someone drive you home.”

After being vilified so much for contributing to dangerous roads (along with all other smartphones, of course), the iPhone will soon turn Samaritan, and maybe help to make the roads a little safer. That’s thanks to the new Breathometer, “the world’s first smartphone breathalyzer.”

The little dongle plugs into the top of your iPhone, via the headphone jack — so it’ll work with pretty much all iPhones — and measures your blood-alcohol level after you’ve breathed into it. The results get displayed on a companion app. Brilliant.

If you want one, they’re just $50 at Breathometer’s Indiegogo site.
