The Alcobuddy – a True “Buddy” to any Barroom

There is no that one of society’s biggest issues these days is that of drunk driving. Every time you turn around, there’s another story in the paper or on the news about this or that tragic accident on the road caused by drunk driving. It’s an unfortunate truth and a real tragedy that people never feel as drunk as they are, and these people are the people who wind up endangering the rest of us when they get behind the wheel of a vehicle.

The Alcobuddy intends to change all of that, though. It is a wall-mounted machine designed to work like a police breathalyzer test, showing a patron exactly how much alcohol they’ve consumed, within .01 of their blood-alcohol levels. Placed in a bar, it makes it easy for a patron to have the cold, hard, numerical truth about whether they’re able to drive themselves home; and I’m sure these numbers can save lives.

This machine is made of steel and can hold up to six hundred straws – any kind of straws will do – and has a video screen on the front to help walk the customer through the process of testing their blood-alcohol level, and this set of instructions can be translated into any language you may need. The Alcobuddy is about the size of a large backpack, and can take credit cards instead of bills or coins. The size of the machine insures plenty of surface area for you to advertise your venue on, and should be mounted at eye-level to draw the most attention and curiosity from passers-by and patrons of your venue. The capacity of six-hundred straws and the long-lasting alcohol sensor mean that you’ll not have to make as many refill trips to each of your machines, and they’re the longest lasting of any in the industry. These facts are merely some of the features of the Alcobuddy, and there are many more for you to explore at the web site, www.alcobuddy.com.

But the features, though many, and the profitability of the machine are not the most important virtue of the Alcobuddy, because the Alcobuddy is far more than a vending machine. Drunk driving accidents are some of the most tragic, spawning songs and stories and affecting millions of people each year. Many deaths could have been avoided, both of drunk drivers and the innocent passengers in other vehicles, by a simple, easy to take breath test, a test that most people simply do not have access to. The Alcobuddy provides that access, and it seems to me that such a machine is worth pretty much any investment.

Give the Alcobuddy a shot; who knows, you could wind up saving someone’s life.
