drinking and driving is just stupid
0:01
here's how you avoid it oh hey Dave
0:13
Taylor here and I'm just having a glass
0:15
of wine waiting for my meal like many
0:17
people I like to have a glass of alcohol
0:19
maybe a beer something you know and the
0:23
thing is is that I never ever want to
0:25
drive while intoxicated
0:27
now I'm also a parent to teenagers so
0:30
the risk of intoxicated driving goes way
0:34
up because honestly let's face it
0:36
teenagers aren't real good at actually
0:38
understanding where they're at after
0:40
they've had a beer or three or more so
0:43
that's why I was really intrigued when
0:45
backtracks sent me this this is the
0:48
BACtrack mobile pro and it's a blood
0:51
alcohol content or BAC analyzer and it
0:55
works with your smartphone how easy is
0:58
that so turns out that this little gizmo
1:01
uses what's called an extensor so it's
1:05
the same sensor system that the police
1:07
used in their alcohol detection systems
1:11
so right off the bat you're gonna get
1:12
good accurate results it also tracks
1:15
results over time so you can see you
1:18
know if I have finished this glass of
1:20
wine and immediately test myself I'm
1:22
gonna still be at zero because takes a
1:24
little while to work its way into your
1:26
bloodstream people who drink know what
1:28
I'm talking about right but from that
1:31
point you don't just say oh I'm thirty
1:33
minutes in boom I'm back to zero I'm
1:35
good yay
1:36
so it takes a while to get the alcohol
1:38
back out of your bloodstream and that's
1:41
what the BACtrack system helps you
1:43
understand now it also actually can give
1:46
you an estimate of how long it will take
1:48
for you to get back to zero through what
1:51
they call zero line now I don't drink so
1:54
much that I have to worry about that but
1:56
seriously if you do this and you have
1:58
greater than zero you need to really
2:00
think through what you're about to do
2:02
and what's cool is that the app and I'll
2:05
show you the app will actually do a
2:07
quick breath test but the app actually
2:09
lets you call uber so if you're
2:12
hanging out at the bar with your friends
2:14
and you're like I think I had one too
2:16
many you could even do this discreetly
2:19
in the bathroom or something right it's
2:21
pretty easy to work with or you could do
2:23
it with your friends and you can say hey
2:24
who's the most intoxicated it's kind of
2:26
a weird game but it would be a great way
2:28
to say good it's you
2:30
now give me your damn keys cuz it's not
2:32
okay for you to drive
2:34
so let's actually use this so you go to
2:37
the app and as it warms up it says you
2:43
should guess your blood-alcohol content
2:45
I will guess that I'm at zero because I
2:47
actually haven't had any of this wine
2:48
yet and then once it's ready it says
2:52
take a deep breath and then I have to
2:57
blow into the sensor for long enough for
2:59
all the little marks to go Orange so
3:01
let's do that
3:12
okay so I've done that and now it's
3:15
analyzing and it should show me I'm at a
3:19
zero point zero BAC which is what I
3:22
would expect now let's talk about this
3:25
because this is really cool it's really
3:26
easy it's that easy let me put it that
3:29
way it's really straightforward now
3:31
there's a little mouthpiece if you want
3:33
to use it with multiple people but if
3:35
you're just using it yourself you can
3:37
see this is plenty small enough to leave
3:39
in your pocket it's super discreet so if
3:42
you've had a DUI and you're worried
3:44
about getting a second one or something
3:46
this is so much your best friend or
3:48
better don't get that first DUI just
3:50
don't do it it's really really dangerous
3:53
now the app runs on iOS and Android and
3:58
there's even an Apple watch version so
4:01
you can do this and then the number will
4:03
actually pop up on your Apple watch
4:05
convenient is that
4:06
really nice now this little backtrack
4:09
mobile pro actually charges via a little
4:13
micro USB connection in the bottom and
4:16
super easy to work with once charged it
4:19
can run up to 300 M breath tests so
4:23
charge this thing before you're going
4:25
out drinking with your buddies and you
4:27
will know you don't have to guess you
4:29
don't have to have your friend Mike say
4:30
dude I can totally hold my liquor you
4:32
don't have to worry about that you can
4:34
say you know what you are greater than
4:36
zero you are not driving and they might
4:39
get a little cranky but they will sure
4:41
as heck thank you when they don't lose
4:42
their license and end up in jail so this
4:45
is the BACtrack mobile pro and before I
4:49
tell you the price let me ask you to
4:50
click on that subscribe button cuz i
4:52
review tons of different products this
4:54
is just one of them and i look forward
4:57
to us working together cool now
4:59
backtrack mobile pro this is a hundred
5:02
and forty nine bucks but right now on
5:05
the back track comm site it's actually
5:08
down to $99.99 now you might think a
5:10
hundred bucks is kind of expensive but
5:12
how much does it cost to pay a driving
5:15
while under the influence ticket yeah
5:17
that 99 bucks suddenly does not sound so
5:20
bad and this is something you can use
5:22
for years you can actually test your
5:24
kids
5:25
if I may say so this is something where
5:27
your son or daughter comes home and
5:30
you're pretty sure they're a little bit
5:32
wasted you can use this to say let's
5:36
look at your blood-alcohol content and
5:38
then tomorrow when you recover let's
5:40
talk about what actually happened so
5:42
this is also a great parental tool as
5:44
needed
5:45
now these mouthpieces it comes with
5:47
three there's a little tiny plastic guys
5:50
you can wash them and love them soapy
5:52
water and use them again and again and
5:54
again there's tough and durable they're
5:56
not gonna fall apart but if you want to
5:58
buy more you can buy additional
6:01
mouthpieces and it runs about eight
6:04
bucks for ten of them and this is a
6:06
twenty bucks this is gonna run about
6:08
fifteen dollars twenty would probably be
6:10
twenty different people honestly if I
6:12
was running a bar I might be very
6:15
tempted to have one of these in my bar
6:17
so that when I talked to that customer
6:19
and say you know you've been drinking a
6:21
lot I'm pretty sure I need to call you a
6:23
cab and they said I'm fun drivin you can
6:26
be like let's find out so backtrack
6:30
mobile pro super cool device really a
6:33
