10 DWI/DUI Myths and Their Facts – Part-1 »
Common myths surround the subject of DWI and DUI. Here I have corrected them by giving scientific information and evidence related to these myths.
Myth # 1:
A person’s BAC reading could be lowered down by sucking on pennies.

Myth # 2:
A reliable sign of how much alcohol has been consumed and what is the level of intoxication is “Alcohol on the breath”.
Fact:
Actually alcohol is odorless means it does not contain any smell. It is believed by the people that actually the alcohol on the breath is the odor of things commonly found in alcoholic beverages. So the breath of a person who has taken a non-alcoholic beer will smell the same as that of a person who has consumed an alcoholic beer.
