Review for AlcoHawk Digital Alcohol Detector

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

I've used mine to make sure my BAC is below .08 before I drive. It works pretty well, be prepared to stay where you are for a while if you are above .08; it takes longer to drop than you think!

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

I use it just for myself.

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

Although it is hard to verify the results, the unit seems to accurately measure your BAC level. I am very happy with the product and think it was money well spent.

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

Makes guests think about having 'one more'!

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

Got pulled over, checked my BAC, showed it to the Officer, he said "have a nice evening." End of story.

This is great product to monitor your self

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

I take the Alcohawk with me when I go out to a restaurant/bar and I also use it at home. Several times I have been home or at someone else's home with people that have been drinking alcohol. I have everyone take a turn at using it to see what their BAC is. Several times people have left their vehicles and driven home with another person because their BAC was over the limit! I would say it is an extremely useful tool to have with you!! Everyone loves it! I have bought another one for a friend and other friends of mine have gone online and purchased one from Brookstone! I'm selling them like hotcakes!!

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

This is a must have product these days. Whenever we go out to an event we check ourselves before driving home to make sure we are okay to drive. If not we wait for AlcoHawk to tells us we are fine. We also use this at home to check others before they leave a party.

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

Does what it says it will do.

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

Easy to use and objective tool.

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

I purchased this to make a point. However, I would not suggest purchasing this item if you want to use it to determine whether to drink & drive. It requires calibration after a few uses so may not be accurate for routine use.

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

Difficult to calibrate

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

good product. Works as expected.

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

May help to reduce incidences of alcohol-related accidents.

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

This product assists us to make sure no one that has been drinking will leave our home if he/she has had too many.

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

Very convenient-great to use with adults and teenagers

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

We bought two of these devices: one to keep at home for visitors and one for the road. The device is a good way to encourage friends and family who have visited our house for dinner/drinks to stay the evening if necessary!

We also find it helpful in understanding how much is "enough"!

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

We entertain often and we want to make sure my guest and others are safe. This is also nice if you are out for a dinner you can monitor you BAC before you get behind the wheel.

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

I bought this for my husband and he really likes it. It's easy to use and seems accurate.

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

This product is great! It's always good to know how quickly the alcohol in your body can add up! Most people don't know the legal limit is around two drinks! Now, if we want pre-party before going to the bar, we always test out BAC, if we are close or over, we stay home! It's a great product that will save a lot of money and stress in the long run.

The one thing I do not like is you have to wait 20 minutes after you eat or drink anything, in order to get an accurate BAC reading. But, waiting is much better than a DUI or hurting an innocent person.

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

The battery cover fell off the first day and wouldn't stay on.

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

have had different types of breathalyzers in the past. none were as easy to use. anyone who drinks and the has to drive should own one of. VERYsimple to use. always works. small enough to carry in pocket or purse

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

The countdown timer gets a little frustrating when it won't automatically calibrate, but once it "warms up", the AlcoHawk works quite nicely.

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

It seems to work quite well. We did have some trouble with blowing an 'h', which means you are above a .4. We seemed to get this reading if you blow within seconds after having a drink, especially something strong. It's a fun gadget to have and can actually be useful.

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

This thing is great, especially if you have that friend that always *insists* they're okay to drive after a night of partying. You can prove them wrong, and call them a cab. The only thing is it doesn't come with that many plastic mouth pieces (hygiene reasons). I don't even know where to buy some. But yes, I would definetly recommend this for yourself or as a gift.

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

This is a very handy device. It seems to be pretty accurate. Might be fun at parties.

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

Son mentioned a friend had one- thought it would be a good idea to have. He says it's great.

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

Once we got this product we wanted to try it right away, so we didn't read the directions. Well, it didnt work and we were frustrated. But once we read the directions and followed them, we got real info about how alcohol consumption affects our bodies. We have stayed at parties hours longer than we wanted to because the BAC was too high. We've also caught underage family members drinking by asking them to blow!
It's a good and reliable product that ruins a good time for good reason :-)

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

It's really interesting to see what your BAC is after only a few drinks, and makes you realize just how little alcohol it takes to reach the legal limit of .08!! We use it at house parties...if you blow too high your not driving anywhere!! The only negative is that you have to quit eating/drinking for 20 minutes to get an accurate reading.

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

We have had a fun time with the AlcoHawk! All of our friends want one too!

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

I bought this for my husband's birthday and it was the big hit with his friends. It's very fun and easy to use, but the results are questionable. Ours blew "H" constantly, which means you are passed-out and about to go into alcoholic shock (not too likely). I just returned it to get an exchange model. Let's hope the new one is more reliable.

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

get in the car after dinner and drinks and in a few seconds see if you are over the legal limit. Drive with confidence. Avoid the hassle of your life

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

Very accurate and easy to use. The design could be smaller and more discreet so that it would fit in your pocket.

Comments about ALCOHAWK SLIM 2:

I love this product. I had the prior model and bought this one after the prior one was stolen from me. It's easy to use and straight forward. As we all know, it's not a replacement for good judgement behind the wheel. Reguarding me personally, i use it often. I've had a hard time finding my perfect drinking equilibrium. The Alchohawk has given me the ability to closely monitor my B.A.C. level up where it needs to be. I notice my buzz wears off way to quickly and/or i can never get to that sweet spot. Now with the Alcohawk, I have determined i am happiest at a 9.1 and as a result I can constantly monitor it and keep myself steadily buzzing all night long.

Thanks Alcholhawk for making every night a party.
