Alco-Buddy – Helping People Get On Their Feet
The economic crisis has affected us all in one way or another. The national unemployment rate is above 9 percent and most young adults are finding it hard to keep their heads above water during these tough times. Joe G., can at attest to that. Joe was in college when he discovered an innovative, if not ingenious, investment opportunity on the internet. Joe’s wise investment would end up helping him get on his feet after college.
With money he’d been given as graduation gifts, Joe purchased a revolutionary new product called the Alco-Buddy. The Alco-Buddy is an alcohol breathalyzer vending machine which allows users to measure their approximate BAC (blood alcohol content) . He knew he wanted to use his graduation money towards starting his own business, but he had no idea how lucrative the opportunity would turn out to be.
Throughout his time at college, Joe had become familiar with the local bar owners. He knew that a vending machine that could potentially saves lives was much needed in a college town like his. He persuaded one bar owner to give his Alco-Buddy a try and agreed to split a percentage of the money made off the machine with him. Within months, the Alco-Buddy had paid for itself!
With the profits from his first Alco-Buddy, Joe purchased two more Alco-Buddies. He placed one and used the other machine as a demonstration. Before long, Joe had over 15 machines placed. It was then he decided to sit back and collect his cash income without purchasing any more machines for a while. You see, when Joe wasn’t out placing Alco-Buddyies, he was applying and interviewing for jobs. He had scored a position at the top advertising firm in his city.
The 9am-5pm work day consumes most of Joe’s weekdays now, but on the weekends, he still frequents the bars. Only now, he’s there to collect money! Joe credits the Alco-Buddy for helping him through the tough times between college and his career. He has worked his way up to a Marketing Executive at his company and collects money from over 20 Alco-Buddies on his vending machine route. He’s even upgraded some of his machines to be equipped with credit card readers, allowing him to log-on to a website and see his profits grow in real-time! He lives comfortably on his average salary and has even developed close relationships with some of the bar owners. The Alco-Buddy has literally shaped Joe’s life and future. He testifies that his investment was one of the most important decisions he ever made.

Alco-Buddy Appeals to Fireman and Police Officers
Alco-Buddy breathalyzer vending machines are highly praised amongst NYC Police and Fireman. This is because the use of the machine helps to reduce the amount of drunk drivers on the road every night. If every establishment had an Alco-Buddy installed on their walls, the roads would be a much safer place and it would minimize the amount of accidents that Police and Fireman are so accustomed to seeing today.
Police officers commend any tool that helps reduce drunk driving. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2009, over 1.4 million drivers were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. Although sobriety checkpoints reduce the number of DUI collisions, they can become costly due to the increase in DUI arrests. Using the Alco-Buddy to test one’s BAC (blood alcohol content) before getting behind the wheel will help reduce the amount of arrests and allow police to focus on more serious crimes that are being committed.
Kevin Kubler, a New York City Fireman for over 15 years, has seen his fair share of motor vehicle accidents caused by drinking and driving. Kevin has also run a vending machine business on the side for the last 15 years, ranging from candy machines to pay phones to ATM machines. “Everybody knows fireman all have a side job,” said Kevin. “I heard about Alco-Buddy one day when I was emptying and filling my ATMs.” Kevin researched Alco-Buddy online and purchased his first machine a few months ago. He quickly established that the Alco-buddy breathalyzer is his favorite vending machine. Kevin now owns 20 Alco-Buddy machines and the results have exceeded his expectations! He has about an 85% success rate at placing the machines and plans to increase the amount of vending machines he owns to between 50-100 machines within the next year. “We’re currently bringing in between $100-$200 a month, per machine, after our split with the bar owners,” boasts Kevin. “It’s an easy sell, as compared to other vending machines. You walk in with it…it’s lightweight, easy to install and easy to move around…unlike an ATM, which weight 400 lbs.” Even when a machine isn’t doing well in a certain location, it’s easy to remove the machine and find another bar to place it in.
Even in the rare event the Kevin experiences any glitches, he credits the President and CEO of Alco-Buddy, John Berlingieri, with personally helping him work out the solutions. John’s acted as a great support system to Kevin who confesses that John is always very open to the ideas he’s presented to him based on his years of experience in vending.
All in all, Alco-Buddy is not only a great way for fireman and police to earn some extra cash on the side but it’s also rewarding for the bar owners, as well. Not only do the bar owners split a portion of the money collected by the machine, but they also benefit from patrons who ultimately buy more drinks from the bar only to return back to the machine to beat their “high score.” Of course, the owners and staff of the establishments where Alco-Buddy is installed always encourage patrons whose BAC is over the legal limit to find a designated driver who will help get them home safely.
