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.

Highlighting one of Alco-Buddy’s most valued customers: Ace of Hearts Vending
Holbrook, NY February 24, 2011: About six months ago, Ace of Hearts Vending in Allentown, PA stumbled upon a website for a company on Long Island that manufactures alcohol breathalyzer vending machines. Their interest was immediately peaked. The vending machines, which are installed in alcohol establishments across the country, allow bar patrons to purchase a straw, insert it into the machine, and blow into it. In turn, the machine provides patrons with their approximate BAC (blood alcohol content). Not only is the entertainment value high, but the alcohol awareness it promotes in bars and restaurants can be limitless. Ace of Hearts knew they could find a surplus of establishments in their area that would be more than willing to place one of these vending machines on their wall. And so they contacted the professional team at Alco-Buddy.
Within days, Ace of Hearts created a thorough business plan, preparing for any bumps in the road. Together with a web designer, they developed a fully functional website complete with a blog for people to write about their Alco-Buddy experiences. Ace of Hearts recently created a partnership with Hartzell Insurance who is able to provide a discount for establishments who place an Alco-Buddy. Plans for on-site promotions and give-aways are in the works.
Ace of Hearts targeted high trafficked establishments, focusing on the bigger bars in college towns. Not only do large college bars pull in a larger amount of people, they also get new patrons each year from transferring students and freshly turned 21 students. A representative of Ace of Hearts says “The great thing about Alco-buddy is that anyone 21 and over who drinks alcohol becomes curious when they see the machine which leads to pulling out their dollar and placing to the machine to check out their BAC.”
In almost six months Ace of Hearts has reached over half its goal of placing 50 vending machines by May 2011. With its website and insurance company partnership in place, they can now begin to focus on selling the ad space that Alco-Buddy provides for Taxi companies, DWI lawyers and such. They continue to develop strong relationships with their clients and reinforce this with their excellent customer service. Alco-Buddy provides fully functioning machines that provide the most accurate results and yield the best experiences for patrons.
Ace of Hearts is excited to be a part of the Alco-Buddy family and believes that getting into the breathalyzer business while still in its infancy will give them a head start once it starts picking up momentum. Look out for Ace of Hearts’ Alco-Buddy machines on the web (www.aceofheartsvending.com), on facebook (Ace of Hearts Vending), on t-shirts and in bar promotions.

Alco-Buddy offers different breathalyzer vending machine designs for you to choose from in order to help grow your own vending machine franchise
Holbrook NY (November 11, 2010)- In response to rapid sales growth in 2009, Alco-Buddy, leading manufacturer of alcohol vending machines, is making it much easier for its vending machine franchisees and their customers to select, install and properly use Alco-Buddy’s unique line of alcohol breathalyzer vending machines.

The new designs utilize striking product pictures, bold colors and new user-friendly operational tools. “Drunk driving is a real and present danger that affects everyone. All too often people leave establishments after drinking too much. We needed to offer all establishments and organizations a breathalyzer vending machine that fits their demographic and target market”, says John Berlingieri, President of Alco-Buddy Vending Machines.
Another evolution of the original Alco Buddy design is the addition of an advertising LCD screen measuring 10 inches and placed in the center of the machine. The strategically placed screen allows business owners who implement the breathalyzer machines in their establishments to sell advertising and commercial space. The most obvious example is local cab companies. It will either run advertisements (a slide show form) or have promotional videos or commercials running on a continuous loop. This feature is going to cost an additional one time cost of $300 to be implemented on your machine or machines.
For the last few years Alco-Buddy has been providing patrons with access to an alcohol breathalyzer test, allowing them to gauge their own B.A.C.
