The Alco-Buddy – A Drunk-Driving Deterrent
It seems that every time someone turns around, there’s another story in the paper or on televised news broadcasts about some tragedy or another involving drunk driving. It’s pretty safe to say that drunk driving is kind of a huge problem in America, and there’ve been dozens of measures and debates made about preventing it and the deaths it continues to cause. Legal measures, social stigma, it seems like pretty much every trick in the book has been tried.
However, it seems that there’s one glaring omission in the crusade against drunk driving. Nobody ever talks about the availability, or, really, lack thereof, of breathalyzer testing. Sure, police officers carry breathalyzers as a matter of course, but not every drunk driver gets pulled over for reckless driving before it’s too late and someone’s been hurt or killed by the recklessness they’ve shown. It seems rather unfair that you already have to be posing a threat to just find out that your blood alcohol level is dangerously high. It’s an unfortunate truth, and a simple solution has been mainly ignored.
Until now.
The Alco-Buddy is a breathalyzer machine meant to be mounted at eye-level in a barroom. Its catchy designs draw the attention of curious passers-by, and it’s large enough (about the size of a large backpack; 18 x 12 x 6 inches) to be obvious. It is made of galvanized steel and has a digital video screen that will guide a patron through the steps to test their blood alcohol level. It’s accurate to within .01 of your actual blood alcohol level, and it takes between 800 and 1100 uses to finish off the alcohol sensor. This sensor is the longest-lasting in the business, and, coupled with the six-hundred straw capacity, this means that you don’t have to worry too much about changing the sensors and straws too often. The machine can be customized with your own ads, your own currency, and even can replace the bills-and-coins, traditional payment mechanism with a credit card slot. Easy to use switches control the accepted currency, language, and amount of payment from inside the Alco-Buddy, making the thing even more efficient and adaptable. It’s also profitable due to its relative cheapness – the alcohol sensor I mentioned before only costs one hundred dollars to be replaced, after all.
These are only some of the features of the Alco-Buddy, but it really isn’t the features that make me think of this as a worthy investment. What makes this a worthy investment is almost absurdly simple – it offers a service that nearly no one else does, and this is one of the best services one can offer, because it is a service that can save lives.

The Alco-Buddy – A True Friend To Any Barroom
There’s no doubt that one of society’s biggest issues these days is that of drunk driving. It seems that every time you turn around, there’s another story in the paper or on the news about this or that tragedy on the road brought on by drunk driving. It’s an unfortunate truth that people never feel as drunk as they actually are, and these people are the people who wind up endangering the rest of us when they get behind the wheel.
The Alco-Buddy can help change all of that, though. It is a machine designed to work like a police breathalyzer test, showing a patron exactly how much alcohol they’ve consumed, within .01 of their blood-alcohol levels. Placed in a barroom, it makes it easy for a patron to have the cold, hard truth about whether they’re legally able to drive themselves home; these numbers can save lives.
This machine is made of galvanized steel and can hold up to six hundred straws – any kind of straws can be used inside – and has a video screen on the front to walk the customer through the process of testing their blood-alcohol level, and this set of instructions can be translated into any language you may need. The Alco-Buddy is about the size of a large backpack (18 x 12 x 6 inches), and can be customized to take credit cards instead of bills or coins. The size of the machine insures plenty of surface area for you to advertise your venue on, and is meant to be mounted at eye-level to draw more attention and curiosity from passers-by and patrons of your establishment. The capacity of six-hundred straws and the long-lasting alcohol sensor mean that you’ll have to make less refill trips to each of your machines, and are also the longest lasting of any such machine in the industry. These facts are merely some of the features of the Alco-Buddy, and there are many more for you to explore at the web site, www.alcobuddy.com.
But the features, though many, and the profitability of the machine are not the most important aspect of the Alco-Buddy, because the Alco-Buddy is more than a vending machine. It can literally save lives by doing what it does. Drunk driving accidents are some of the most tragic, spawning songs and stories and affecting millions of people each year. Many deaths could have been avoided, both of drunk drivers and innocent passengers in other vehicles, by a simple breath test, a test that most people simply do not have access to. The Alco-Buddy provides that access, and it seems to me that such a machine is worth pretty much any investment.
Give the Alco-Buddy a shot; who knows, you could wind up saving someone’s life.

How To Know If You’ve Had Too Much Too Drink
by Jodi G.
Its the end of a crazy Friday night. You’ve been partying at happy hour since you got off from work. You fumble for your keys but then your friend stops you. “No you’re too drunk to drive,” he shouts! But you feel fine. You’re believe you’re okay to drive. But how can you tell, for sure?
The important thing to remember is that one drink is equivalent to 12 ounces of beer, 8 ounces of malt liquor and 5 ounces of wine. Alcohol begins metabolizing the minute you begin drinking and in the average healthy person, alcohol is metabolized at a rate of .015% BAC (blood alcohol content) every hour. After just one drink, you begin to feel the effects of alcohol. You’re relaxed and exhibiting reduced social inhibitions. You may insist the you feel completely in control of yourself. But does this necessarily mean that you are? There aren’t many reliable ways to be sure it’s safe to get behind the wheel. Let’s go over a few commonly used ways and see if you can tell which one is most dependable.
How many fingers am I holding up? This method is as old as the hills. And let’s face it, you’re always going to be wrong! No one will ever let you get away with the correct answer. It’s also not very reliable. You might be able to count fingers, but that proves nothing when it comes to drunk driving. You still may be too intoxicated to get behind the wheel.
Some people chug plenty of water and think they can get rid of the alcohol in their bodies faster that way. This method will definitely have you using the bathroom frequently! But only time is going to help eliminate alcohol from your bloodstream. No amount of water is going to speed up the process.
Then again, you could always ask the bartender how much you’ve had to drink. Although, if you feel the need to consult the bartender with this question, then you’ve probably had too much to drink. So why don’t we just skip right to the single most reliable way to tell if you’re safe to get behind the wheel.
Alco-Buddy! Alco-Buddy is the revolutionary alcohol breathalyzer vending machine that’s quickly becoming a hit in the industry. For a small fee, users insert a straw into the machine and blow. In return, the machine displays your BAC (blood alcohol content). This number can be very useful in determining whether you are capable of driving home. Anything over 0.08 and you’re above the legal limit in all 50 states. Business owners are saving people’s lives by having this machine on their walls. And conveniently displayed taxi cab telephone numbers can be advertised on the front of the machine. The Alco-Buddy helps ensure that bar patrons get home safely and that the roads stay free of drunk drivers.

Alco-Buddy Prevents Drunk Driving
The New York Times published an article on April 16, 2011 entitled “Helping Drunk Drivers Avoid Tickets, but Not Wrecks.” The article is intended to alert the public about a controversial new BlackBerry, iPhone and Android app that helps drunken drivers evade sobriety checkpoints. To the law-abiding sober driver, there’s nothing more annoying than being delayed at a sobriety checkpoint. But to the drunk driver, is the information these apps providing going to be particularly useful? The writer says, in summary, “General alerts are good: they help spread the word and deter drunken driving.” But pinpointing the location of sobriety checkpoints with a pushpin on a GPS device still does nothing to help prevent the deaths of the approximately 11,000 people a year that are killed by alcohol-impaired drivers. Isn’t there a way to stop drunk drivers BEFORE they get behind the wheel?
The answer might just be hanging on the wall in your local pub. And with its bold colors and bright flashing lights, it’s hard to resist the temptation to try it after a couple of drinks. It’s called Alco-Buddy and it’s the newest vending machine concept from President and CEO of Alco-Buddy, John Berlingieri.
Berlingieri gives credit to his grandfather for teaching him how to machine metal at a young age. While on vacation in Europe as a young man, Berlingeri came across an alcohol breathalyzer vending machine in a pub. He took the idea stateside and together with the engineering experience he inherited, he created the Alco-Buddy.
Berlingieri believes he is saving peoples lives by offering this valuable service to the community. “The Alco-Buddy alcohol breathalyzer vending machine is an intelligent and simple way to check your B.A.C. (blood alcohol content) before venturing out on the roads” say Berlingieri. “It reduces the number of impaired or intoxicated people driving and assists to educate patrons to moderate an appropriately pace their drinking.”
The law comes down hard on drunk drivers, these days. The Times & Transcript reported that “a judge who previously warned that she would consider jailing first-time drunk drivers who had high blood-alcohol levels and exhibited poor driving followed through on that pledge in court” when she sentenced a drunk driving offender, whose B.A.C. was three times the legal limit, to eight days in jail.
Could a device like the Alco-Buddy breathalyzer vending machine help drunk drivers avoid jail time, prevent them from even getting behind the wheel or encourage them to call a designated driver? Berlingeiri believes that it does. “Prevention is key. Drunk driving is a serious problem in this country and can not only lead to tragedy but also jail time, loss of your license and increased insurance rates” says Berlingieri. “Alco-Buddy can help prevent drunk driving by providing patrons with accurate information quickly so they can make a responsible decision, stay off the roads and find another way home.”
