I've thought about buying one over the years just to play with it at home, but I assume results could be wildly inaccurate if you don't buy the right one.

The rates and effects of alcohol absorption have been so thoroughly tested and documented as to pretty firmly establish these ratios.

I'll always stick to less than one drink per hour and will still make myself feel like a slightly terrible human being, after having judged myself pretty harshly for driving home once years ago when my ride bailed and I drove home anyway (nothing happened, but it was pretty ****ing stupid).
