Breathalyzers: Why Aren’t They Warranted to Measure Alcohol? »
If you are facing drunk driving charges, then you must have taken (unless that you refuse) a chemical test for checking a blood alcohol concentration (BAC). It has been noted that the test will be done with a breath machine in the great majority of cases. When you face the trial in a court then you will come to know that you have been charged with not just one, but with two crimes.
First Charge:
The first crime with which you have been charged is the so-called "per se" offense: driving while having a BAC of .08% or greater. It doesn’t matter and no one actually cares whether you were intoxicated or not. It would be proved by all of the evidence that without question you were sober: your condition is not the crime, instead of that the crime is your chemical composition. And what is the sole source of evidence used by the police officers upon which you will be either convicted or acquitted? Just a machine.
Second Charge:
The second charge that you have to face is "driving under the influence of alcohol" ("DUI"), or in some states, it is referred to as "driving while intoxicated" ("DWI") or "operating under the influence" ("OUI"). All of them are basically the same thing. However in each case, it can be proved by the prosecution that you were under the influence of alcohol by offering the results of the same breath test into evidence and the jury will be instructed that it should be refutably believed that the defendant is guilty unless he can prove otherwise.

Do Breathalyzers Discriminate Against Women? »
If you have been charged for DUI and if it has been shown by a breath test that your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is .08% or higher, then you are guilty. Of course, it does not matter, whether you are a man or a women: there is no discrimination in law.
Maybe they should…
It has been found by the researchers at the University School of Medicine in Trieste, Italy, that the stomach lining contains an enzyme called gastric alcohol dehydrogenase that breaks down alcohol, and in women this enzyme is less than a men. In order to determine the relative effects of the enzyme, they gave alcohol both orally and intravenously to groups of alcoholic and non-alcoholic men and women.
It has been found that women reached the same levels of blood alcohol as men after drinking only half as much; having taken the weight differences into account, it has been founded by them that women reached BAC levels illegal in a DUI case after drinking 20 to 30 percent less alcohol than men.
The scientists’ concluded that when defining safe levels of drinking for driving motor vehicles legislatures may need to consider sex differences in drunk driving laws.

One of the cops came near to your window and you were asked to step out of the car. After taking some field sobriety tests, they took you to the police station and then you are charged with a DWI. Someday you were out at a party, and the results of your breathalyzer test shows that you have a BAC level above the legal limit of .08. It seems to you like case has been closed for you – Isn’t that?
Yes it is not wrong that a large portion, even though a majority of DWI-related arrests lead to a subsequent conviction in court. Having so many laws that require DWI suspects to submit to test after test, and breathalyzer devices are widely used despite of fierce ongoing controversy over its reliability, it is a little surprise that many people feel helpless when they face a DWI charge.
