If a person slammed 1 shot of, say, Everclear… then IMMEDIATELY blew into a Breathalyzer, would the results be any different then if they had waited some time before blowing? What kind of brujeria is involved with these machines?Thank you

No. Never.

I can throw back vodka, no problem. I took a sip of ever-clear, instant regret. Vodka has a nice mild, smooth burn. Ever-clear is straight fire, instant cottonmouth.

To answer your question, yes, it would be stronger.

For example: open a can of tuna in the bathroom, and take note of how the bathroom smells. Keep the tuna in the bathroom for 5 minutes, then take it out.

As time goes on, the tuna smell will become less obvious.

You can try this experiment again, turning on the vent, simulating breathing. (It is not the proper air movement, but it works.

I have a breathalyzer. I do not know how accurate it is, I got it for 20$ on amazon. I put a straw on the blowing end, but it into a shot, and sucked on the other end, results follow.

Ever clear (95%, 190 proof)
0.02, 0.02, 0.02, 0.80, 0.03.

Control (nothing on the other end
First round, I messed up. (0.0,0.0,0.04,0.02,0.0)
Second round, 0.00 all arround.

Vodka. (40%, 80 proof
0.02, 0.02, 0.02, 0.00, 0.02.
