I can't believe no one has mentioned chugging water. I have a field breathalyzer and I've tried a bunch of different methods. Chugging/ washing your mouth out with water works extremely well if you just had something to drink, and still works well even an hour or so after your last drink. It works by clearing out all the alcohol in your throat and mouth, which sits there, coming out in your breath, for a while. Gum can work in the same way by making you salivate more, as long as you swallow your spit. The point is just to wash out your mouth and throat as much as possible.
 
Obviously, this isn't going to work if you're hammered - above .20 - but its usually enough to lower you from a .11 to a .08/.07 . Again, its most effective if you JUST drank, in which case you wouldn't want to wait longer for the alcohol to get into your blood.
 
I don't consider this cheating, since it takes away the alcohol that isn't really in your blood yet. What have you got to lose anyway, its not a crime to drink water. I keep a bottle in my glove box just for this purpose, just in case.
 
Combined with the hyperventilation, which makes sense, I could see this beating most field breathalyzers as long as you aren't too drunk.
 
I have to say though, unless you really have to, don't drive drunk, its never really worth it. But for those who drink casually and need to drive their car home like most people, I'd definitely be prepared.

The best way to beat it is to remoe the alochol from the air yo expell. You can achieve this with activated carbon, the same that its used in hosptials to wash your stomach.. You see, activated carbon is a chemical filter and any organic molecule (included alcohol) will stick to it. You can purchase some of it and very cheap at your local pet shop, in the filter pads of aquariums ;) works perfectly in conbination with water (disolves remaining alcohol) and hiperventilation.

Well depends on how big the cans are. If ur talking 6 tall boys a day you might want to just not drink that day u have it. But regular 12 oz of beer or 1 oz of spirits takes about an hour to go thru your system. So say you drink 3 beers with breakfast at 9AM (please dont) you'd be good if u had your exam 1PM. Just drink when u get off work tho, damn.

Here is truth. I am a NC Intoxlizer operator. I was certified on the Intoxlizer 5000 and now on the Intoxlizer EC/IR II. I have ran hundreds of test. There is NOTHING you can put in your mouth or trick you can do to prevent the insturment from detecting the alcohol in your breath. I know this because I have played with our instruments and tried all of the tricks, none work. The only way to prevent a blowing over is to control you intake.

bull. I have personally passed a breath test while borderline hammered. all you have to do is press your tongue flat over your saliva glands (the little pieces of meat under your tongue) and blow from your throat, not your diaphram/stomach. if the officer tells you you're not blowing hard enough -- ignore him. and if he stops you and asks you what your problem is, tell him you're a smoker with poor lung capacity. worked for me after consuming an entire 6 pack in about 2 hours.

What is the reason for spending so much time to think about ways to cheat the breath test? How about no driving after drinking? Drivers should count themselves lucky is they are caught, luckier if they kill themselves. But if they kill innocent bystanders, how are they going to live with themselves? In addition, they will facing criminal charges and be sued to the poor house by insurance companies and victim's family.

Don't believe the comment that sucking on pennies to beat a breathalyzer is a myth. I have done it. Back in 1997 I had drank about 10 coronas at Lake Havasu. The police decided to pull me out of a friends car when he got pulled over and decided to test me too. I was obviously drunk and smelled like alcohol. They tested me twice in about a 20 minute period. I had slipped a penny in my mouth just before I stepped out of the car. The cops were totally confused that I was blowing 0's when I smelled, looked and acted kind of drunk, though I denied it. After 30 minutes of waiting around it looked like I was going to be let go, so I spit out the penny. Then they said "We better test you one more time just to be sure." I blew a .20 the third time and went to jail for underage drunkness on spring break in Havasu. So when the penny was under my tongue when I blew, the machine breathalyzer registered 0's.
