It's extremely flawed and would likely be less effective than the checkpoints allegedly are.

I've bartended and its not hard at all to see who had their fill. Ive turned away plenty that have had their fill. Drink tickets have a number and name on them so as hard as some have tried to trick the bartender to get an extra beer it never works. If there was a breathalyzer in their car it'd be hard to drive to the next bar or even home if they footed it from bar or bar regardless if they were't previous offenders wouldn't it? Just take a nap in the car until you blow 0 or take a cab. It'll do more good than harm if it came standard in new cars and I know damn well parents would feel their kid is less likely to drive drunk if one was installed. I recall 7 people I knew that died as a result of drinking and driving in just high school.
