Safe Driving

The Latest, Greatest Weapon in the Battle Against Drunk Driving

Drunk driving. It’s an issue, one that gets a lot of play in the media — some days it seems you
can’t turn around without hearing a new story in the news that goes a little like this: “There was an
accident on Such-and-such Parkway this morning at three a.m. Two people were killed, three injured.
The driver of one of the vehicles will be indicted for DUI.”

Everyone knows the dangers of driving while under the influence; most children are taught that
drinking and driving is bad long before driving is even a consideration in their young minds. Legislation
is enacted in every state, punitive measures put in place against those who are caught in the act of
drunk driving as well as those who cause such accidents. A great social stigma, as well, is enforced,
helped along by the media. And yet, this epidemic seems unaffected.

There is one thing, though, that remains mainly untried. The breathalyzer is a small device
carried by most police officers in order to test suspected drunk drivers’ blood alcohol levels when
they’ve been pulled over. However, police officers can’t catch every drunk driver in the act, and
certainly can’t catch all of them before tragedy strikes, and the breathalyzer, though quick and accurate,
is hardly ever seen outside of the justice system.

The Alcobuddy exists to change all of that. It is a wall-mounted breathalyzer, about the size of a
large backpack that is meant to be installed in places that serve copious amounts of alcohol — i.e. bars,
clubs and vineyards. It’s bound to catch the attention and curiosity of many a patron. Once curiosity
is piqued, the patron will find that the Alcobuddy has a digital video screen to walk them through the
process of testing their blood-alcohol level. The owner of an establishment will be happy to note the
autonomy of the Alcobuddy, as well; it holds six hundred of the straws needed for use, and the alcohol
sensor itself lasts for between eight hundred and eleven hundred uses, the longest lasting sensor in the
business.

The accuracy of the Alcobuddy is great, too, in that it will give a BAC within .01 units of the
patron’s actual levels. This cold hard number is likely to put Average Joe off from driving if he, like most
people, has assured himself that he’s “not drunk, just buzzed,” and intended to drive home. If he’s faced
with the actual numbers, he’d know exactly how “buzzed” he really is, and maybe, just maybe, he’ll call a
friend or a cab.

The fact of the matter is, the Alcobuddy has the ability to save lives. If you’re interested, or
unconvinced, please, check out www.alcobuddy.com for more information.

A True Friend To Any Bar

It’s an unfortunate and inescapable truth that drunk driving is a major problem in society today.  Almost every time you open the newspaper, log on to the Internet, or turn on the television, you’ll find another story about an accident caused by someone getting behind the wheel while intoxicated.

From the time we’re very young – before we even really understand what alcohol is – we’re told that drunk driving is wrong.    Preventative education is a part of many school districts nation wide, usually supported by anti-drunk-driving organizations like MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving), and it’s pretty safe to say that everyone knows what can happen if you or someone you love drives drunk.

But people still do it.  Even though you can get arrested, even though you can die or kill someone else by getting behind the wheel while drunk, people still do it.

Part of it, I’m sure, is that somebody never feels as drunk as they are, and most people will never know they’re too drunk to drive until after they’ve been arrested or a tragedy has struck.  But how could they possibly know?  Most people – pretty much everyone outside of law enforcement – don’t have access to a way to test their blood-alcohol content before they make the decision.  Testing one’s blood is almost ridiculously simple, but almost nobody has access to the equipment.

This is where the Alcobuddy comes into the picture.  The Alcobuddy is a wall-mounted breathalyzer machine about the size of a large backpack (18 x 12 x 6 inches) that vends straws for use with it.  It’s intended for installation in barrooms and other establishments that sell alcoholic beverages to help prevent drunk driving.  The Alcobuddy is mounted at eye-level and has an eye-catching display to attract curious patrons – and, of course, getting their attention is half the battle.  Also contributing to ease of use for patrons is the digital video screen to help guide them through the process of testing their blood alcohol levels.

On the other side, the owner of an Alcobuddy will find that it is very profitable and easy to work with.  Its long-lasting analyzer is the best in the industry (accurate within .01 of one’s true blood alcohol level), and it holds six hundred straws.  It can be set to accept quarters, ones, fives, tens, twenties, etc, and you can set it to only accept only four bills at a time – and that’s if you don’t opt for the credit card slider.  Also on the subject of adaptability, it can “learn” multiple languages from a lengthy list of the same, and can be reset for various currencies.

The Alcobuddy – A True Drunk-Driving Deterrent

Drunk Driving, Drinking, Driving, Alcohol, SafetyIt seems that every time someone turns around, there’s another story in the paper or on televised news broadcasts, or even on the wide, impersonal Internet, about some tragedy involving drunk driving.  It’s perfectly safe to say that drunk driving is a huge problem in America, and there’ve been dozens of legal measures and debates and organisations 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, 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 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 Alcobuddy is a breathalyzer machine meant to be mounted at eye-level in a bar or club.  Its catchy design draws the attention of passers-by, and it is large enough (about the size of a large backpack) to be obviously visible.  It is made of steel and has a digital video screen to guide a possibly-intoxicated patron through the simple steps to test their blood alcohol levels.  It’s accurate to within .01 of your actual BAC, and it takes between 800 and 1100 uses to completely deplete the alcohol sensor.  This sensor is the longest-lasting in the business, and, coupled with the six-hundred straw (any kind of which will do) capacity, this means that you don’t have to worry much at all about changing the sensors and straws.  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.  Seven easy to use switches control the accepted currency, language, and amount of payment from inside the Alcobuddy, making the thing even more efficient and adaptable.  It’s also profitable due to its relative cheapness to you – the alcohol sensor I mentioned before only costs one hundred dollars to be replaced.

These are only some of the features of the Alcobuddy, but it really isn’t the features that make me think of this as an incredibly worthy investment.  What makes this a worthy investment is 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 can save lives.

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’s Lucrative Business Opportunity for Active and Retired Military Personnel

Alco-Buddy, the leading manufacturer of alcohol breathalyzer vending machines, realizes that times are tough in the economy right now.  Everyone can benefit from a cash income on the side. Even active and retired military personnel are deciding it’s time to take the leap into the small business world with an Alco-Buddy breathalyzer vending machine route.

Take, for example, Arjuna Ramcharan, a former aircraft mechanic in the US Air Force who was stationed on a military air base in Williamsborough, NJ.  Even though Arjuna had been successful throughout his career in the military, he realized that his heart had always been rooted in business.  Arjuna decided that the only way it would be possible for him to fulfill his desire was to make a bold move and pursue his dream to be a businessman.  While researching various different business opportunities online, Arjuna stumbled upon a Craigslist.com posting promoting a product that he believed to be a potentially lucrative business opportunity.  Arjuna contacted the professional team at Alco-Buddy who instructed him on how to go about purchasing his very first machine.  He was also pleased to find out that Alco-Buddy offers both active and retired military personnel a 5% discount on all their purchases!

There were many different reasons why Arjuna chose the Alco-Buddy breathalyzer vending machine to start his own business with.  First, he felt that the Alco-Buddy promotes safety on the roads.  Arjuna knows many people who have lost loved ones’ due to drunk driving.  He believes that by furnishing the local bars with an Alco-Buddy breathalyzer vending machine, he would play an active role in reducing the amount of lives lost due to drinking and driving. He would also be contributing to the safety of the community and possibly to the safety of his own family and friends!

Another important reason why Arjuna chose the Alco-Buddy breathalyzer vending machine was because he knew it would generate a good income, which is a necessity in this day and age.  The virtually maintenance free machine was n of the greatest investment for him and paid for itself in less than a year.  That’s a great start for any striving entrepreneur!

Lastly, starting an Alco-Buddy breathalyzer vending machine route served as a stepping stone into the business world and provided Arjuna with the income and experience needed to be his own boss.  He developed a great relationship with the Alco-Buddy personnel who went above and beyond their job duties to assure his success in the industry.  Arjuna still considers himself to be in the early stages of development and continues to make improvements to his business with every day.

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.

Alco-Buddy vending machines benefit everyone

Have you ever gotten behind the wheel after a night of drinking and, upon arriving home, realized you have no recollection of driving there?  Alcohol has the ability to impair our judgment so severely that it’s common to assume we are completely capable of driving, even when our BAC (blood alcohol content) is only slightly above the legal limit. In most situations, there’s no way of knowing what your true BAC is until it’s too late.

People who consume alcohol on a regular basis are at the highest risk because they’ve built up a tolerance for alcohol over time. Their chances of being arrested are not only greatly increased, but they are also putting other drivers, who are entirely sober, at risk.

Many factors contribute to a person’s BAC, including weight, age, medications and recently consumed food amongst other things.  It’s nearly impossible to know exactly what our BAC is after consuming alcohol.  The difference between .07 and .08 can make or break your night.  Being arrested for DUI can incur thousands of dollars in fines and legal fees, increase insurance rates, put careers at risk and possibly require mandatory substance abuse assessment and treatment.  It may even require the installation of an ignition interlock device that prevents the operation of a motor vehicle by anyone with a BAC above a specified safe level. It’s a humiliating experience in all ways, yet one that can be easily avoided in establishments equipped with the Alco-Buddy breathalyzer vending machine, the latest in cutting edge breathalyzer technology.

For a reasonable fee, users of the Alco-Buddy breathalyzer vending machine can determine whether it’s safe to get behind the wheel. Alco-Buddy can help you avoid the consequences of being arrested for DUI and having your driving privileges revoked.  Although Alco-Buddy is labeled “For Entertainment Purposes” it’s still a valuable and accurate tool that can be utilized by someone who is questioning their ability to drive.  Even if you have arranged for a designated driver to take you home, using the Alco-Buddy breathalyzer vending machine can also serve to give you a better understanding of how alcohol affects your body.  The results are often surprising, particularly when you are under the assumption that you are fully capable of driving.

It is important to remember that even if the Alco-Buddy shows that you are under the legal limit, there is never and acceptable level of alcohol consumption that makes it entirely safe to drive.  In any quantity, alcohol has the ability to impair reflexes, motor skills and cognitive abilities. Alcohol acts as a central nervous system depressant that can lead to alcohol poisoning and death. In all 50 States, a police officer can charge you with DUI if you are impaired to the slightest degree, regardless of your BAC level. If you find yourself questioning your ability to drive and are lucky enough to be in an establishment equipped with the Alco-Buddy breathalyzer vending machine, always remember to “check yourself before you wreck yourself!”
