Several types of foods that cause alcohol testers to respond

Alcohol testing equipment is generally used to see if the driver is drunk, but some foods are prone to cause the reaction of alcohol testing equipment. Friends who drunk should pay attention.

Drugs: Huoxiangzhengqishui, Zhenggushui, Shidizhui, Xiaokechuan syrup and some other proprietary Chinese medicines contain alcohol and are easily detected as "drunk driving."

Breath freshener: Some breath fresheners also contain alcohol, but the ethanol content is not low, but the volatilization is also very fast and does not occur after 10 minutes.

Mouthwash: Immediately after the sneeze and spit, the results showed that the alcohol content was as high as 97 mg, which was beyond the critical threshold for drunk driving. However, the test result after half an hour is 0

Egg yolks: Some egg yolks add moderate amounts of edible alcohol to ensure softness.

Sour Plum Soup: Some ebony produce low concentrations of alcohol compounds during processing or yeast fermentation, which may cause the alcohol tester to respond.

Sufu: The components of fermented bean curd are usually edible alcohol. Immediately after eating, alcohol content will be high.

Garlic, smoke: Tested after eating garlic or smoking, alcohol tester will also respond.

The alcohol tester uses the principle of oxidation, and an orange sodium dichromate (potassium) oxidizer is built into the instrument. The oxidant reacts with the ethanol gas exhaled by the testee to produce green acetic acid. This color change will be converted into electronic signals and displayed as numbers. This oxidation reaction is not limited to ethanol gas, as long as the gas can react with the oxidant, may cause a digital change. At the same time Zhang Hongli said that garlic itself also contains a small amount of ethanol.
