I think that's an even better 'bad marketing' example than mine. Product developers seriously need to think "how could this be abused" before deciding to create a product.
Case in Point: In my early 20s I purchased a breathalyzer like this that i kept in my car. It was a final protective measure of "am I safe to drive home?" before I decide to put keys into ignition.
Several times when i brought it to a house party to make sure people would make good decisions, it turned into a "who can get the high score" competition that caused MORE drinking to be done.
But, two times I got pulled over leaving bars. Both times the police asked if I had been drinking, I answered honestly that I had had two or three drinks in a 3 hour period, but waited an hour to walk to the car, and then checked my BAC with the device and blew a .05 or lower, which gave me a confidence buffer since I didn't know how accurate the device was. The first time, the cop was amazed and wanted to see the device as he had never heard of them available commercially like that. The second time the cop said 'have a good night and drive safely.'
Did it honestly prevent me from getting a drunk driving citation? probably not. I was most likely completely legal, but it got the police to lose interest rather quickly and go searching for easier targets stumbling out of the bar.
But it was fun at parties.
