damage the device

"you cannot however breath in to the device during your night of drinking or certainly soon after finishing a drinking session as you could damage the device or it could give a false read so it is no good for knowing if you are under directly after you have had a couple of drinks etc all of this to be fair is explained and the logic behind it regarding the way the human body deals with processing alcohol so that is not a limitation to the device but more a limitation about our bodies"

damage sensor
