Breath alcohol equalization composition

Abstract

There is provided a residual mouth alcohol inhibitor configured as an oral composition that absorbs residual mouth alcohol that remains in the mouth of an individual following the consumption of alcohol. The oral composition comprises a combination of sodium bicarbonate, calcium carbonate, parsley, kelp, fructose, citric acid, natural flavors, artificial flavors, maltodextrin, and silicon dioxide whereby the ratio of sodium bicarbonate to calcium bicarbonate in the composition is approximately 1:1 and the ratio of sodium bicarbonate to parsley in the composition is approximately 2:1 and the ratio of parsley to kelp in the composition is approximately 4:1.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 730,332, filed on Nov. 27, 2012, the contents of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference.STATEMENT RE: FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH / DEVELOPMENT[0002]Not ApplicableBACKGROUND[0003]The present invention relates to food grade oral compositions that facilitate the absorption of methyl group structure compositions. More specifically, the present invention relates to food grade oral compositions that absorb residual mouth alcohol present after alcohol ingestion.[0004]Alcohol abuse is a national problem that extends into virtually all aspects of society. Current practice for alcohol measurements to detect alcohol abuse is typically based upon either blood measurements or breath testing. Blood measurements are generally considered the “gold standard” for determining alcohol intoxication levels. However, blood measurements typically require either a venous or c...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a food consumable product and method that helps improve breath analysis machines used for estimating a person's blood alcohol content. The product helps reduce residual mouth alcohol and other substances that can interfere with the measurements. The product absorbs ethyl alcohol and similar substances, resulting in more accurate readings and reduced likelihood of false positive tests. The method improves the reliability and accuracy of alcohol consumption or estimated blood alcohol level field tests. The food consumable product can be used to prevent false positive results caused by residual mouth alcohol.

Problems solved by technology

Alcohol abuse is a national problem that extends into virtually all aspects of society.

Due to the invasiveness of the procedure and the amount of sample handling involved, blood alcohol measurements are usually limited to critical situations such as for traffic accidents, violations where the suspect requests this type of test, and accidents where injuries are involved.

Therefore, some states don't permit data or “readings” from hand-held machines to be presented as evidence in court.

A major problem with some breath analyzer machines is that they not only identify the ethyl alcohol (or ethanol) found in alcohol beverages, but also other substances similar in molecular structure.

This fact adds serious complexity to field sobriety testing conducted with breath analyzer machines because the more different ethyl group substances the machine detects, the higher will be the false blood alcohol content estimate.

This may lead to higher estimated blood alcohol content readings than are accurate and cause a subject being tested to render a breath analysis reading that indicates that they are operating a vehicle with blood alcohol content that is higher than the legal limit; commonly referred to as a false positive.

However, it is difficult to assess whether a subject being tested has burped within a 15-minute period prior to an actual field breath analysis test, causing ambiguity and questions regarding the accuracy of breath analysis field sobriety testing.
