The present invention in several embodiments is a cell phone with breath analyzer that can store a preprogrammed list of phone numbers that are not to be called once a person's blood alcohol level has reached a specific point. This device could look similar to traditional cell phones. Within the mouth piece, or other place on or in the phone is a blood alcohol detector. As a person talks/breaths into the phone, their blood alcohol level will be measured. If the level is over a predetermined amount, a previously programmed list of phone numbers cannot be accessed. This unit may also have the capability to store a help list for the user. This list would allow the consumer to easily call a specific list of individuals if they were in need of a ride or other forms of assistance.

The portable breathalyzer accessory combines a blood alcohol content measuring tool with a mobile device to measure, store, and send the blood alcohol content of the user. The portable breathalyzer device attaches to a mobile device, wired or wirelessly, to display the blood alcohol content of the user, which is measured through the portable breathalyzer attachment. The blood alcohol content is displayed as a percentage on the mobile device through the corresponding software application. The software application shows the user their blood alcohol content in comparison with the local blood alcohol content limit, which is found by determining the user's location through the GPS technology of the mobile device.

The invention discloses a driving control system and method for persons driving while intoxicated and feeling uncomfortable. An alcohol sensor, a pulse sensor and a body temperature sensor are utilized for monitoring the blood alcohol concentration, the pulse condition and the body temperature condition of a driver respectively. When it is detected that the blood alcohol concentration inside the driver exceeds a threshold value, a central processing unit controls a relay switch to cut off a sparking plug circuit, an automobile engine stops operation and meanwhile an audio file is played. When the pulse fluctuation or the body temperature fluctuation of the driver exceeds the normal range, the central processing unit controls an audio player to play a relevant prompt audio file. The driving control system and method for the persons driving while intoxicated and feeling uncomfortable are used for eradicating drunk driving behaviors and monitoring whether the body conditions of the driver meet the driving conditions or not and are of great significance in maintaining the traffic order and guaranteeing the life and property safety of people.

Each test strip is formed from a porous (absorbent) carrier matrix, and a color-change reagent resident on the carrier matrix. The color-change reagent comprises an alcohol oxidase enzyme and a hydrogen donor indicator that changes color when oxidized. In addition, a comparative color chart is provided, including a plurality of color swatches, a numerical scale of blood alcohol concentration, and a quantitative safe/not safe warning. The reagent on the test strip indicates the presence of alcohol in breast milk. The test kit includes a number of test strips and a color chart to allow breast feeding mothers to ascertain the concentration of alcohol in their breast milk to ensure that breast milk fed to infants is free of alcohol.

The present invention relates to a vehicle safe starting device which controls the starting of a vehicle according to a driver's state. One embodiment analyzes blood alcohol concentration by projecting infrared rays into the driver's skin and receiving a reflected signal, and thereafter controls so that the vehicle is not stared if the blood alcohol concentration is larger than a reference value. Since a general breathalyzer using a driver's exhalation is not used, but infrared rays and a method of skin contact touch using a finger, etc. are used, it is possible to accurately measure the blood alcohol level without giving a driver inconvenience, and it is possible to preempt vehicle accidents by blocking driving in an inappropriate state.

An alcohol-metabolism enhancing composition contains theanine. The composition may be contained in ingesta. Theanine has an effect of quickly reducing blood alcohol concentration, thereby easing or improving troubles due to alcoholic ingestion such as hangover or alcoholic hepatic insufficiency.
