Inhaling Albuterol before a breathalyzer test
Is there any information about using Albuterol for asthma, minutes before being administered a breathalyzer test. Perhaps causing the bronchial to expand and cause an altered amount of alchohol trasmission through the blood?
Thank You

The intoxilyzer measures the oxygen/alcohol exchange rate in the lungs. Whether the bronchae are artifically expanded or not will not affect the outcome of the test as it is not the volume which is being measured but the gas ratios.
