Now i don't drive so it's not for that reasons and i don't want people saying "Don't drink" I'm just genuinly interested if it is possible to beat the test when you are blatently over the limit.

Big Breathe in....Then breath out slightly to the side and in of the breathylyser....My friend (ex police inspector) always did this and swore that it worked every time!
Suppose it depends how much alcohol you've imbibed!

Yeah take a swig of your alcohol right in front of the police officer then he can't determine if you are truly under the influence or not.
Better hope he doesn't make you take a blood test because that's the only way to determine what amount of alcohol is in your system.
If there was a true way of beating the breathalyzer then the police would just make everyone take a blood test.
It's cheaper in the end to just call a cab or prearrange for a designated driver to take you home than to risk yours and others lives by driving after you've been drinking.
Been there done that once too many times.

The guys on the Mythbusters show on Discovery channel tried a few of the more common ways to try to beat the breathaliser. No one worked of course. Peanutbutter? Maybe if you eat it instead of drinking :-). Pennies in your mouth might give your breath a different smell but won't do anything about the alcohol fumes that are ventilated from the blood through your lungs.
So: say no to driving! :-)

The breathiliser uses potassium crystals which turn from red to green when alcohol is present in the breath. You can defeat this by eatin mints etc anything that is strong to taste. Basically have a few polos then leave for home and if your stopped the mint will be fresh on your breath overpowering the alcohol for about 30 mins that the breathiliser wont be able to pick it up

I think the only way to beat a BAC test is to just not drink. If you are blatantly over the limit, I really don't think there's any way to make the test give a lower BAC. I have friends who are police officers and they have told me that when they have pulled people over for suspicion of DUI, they can see that person trying to shove mints and gum into their mouth from behind the car. My friends say that nothing works to mask the breath.

Many crazy ideas in the mind of the lawless. The best I heard was 'put a penny in your mouth whilst doing the test' the copper in the coin confuses the test, but it dos,nt, nothing does, so don't be tempted.

Chew some of those massive fizzy tablets that you clean false teeth in!! Apparently it screws the test up and you only get done for refusing to take the test!

I don;t think so.
You would have to put out less alcohol when you reath. the alcohol you breath out is coming ou of your blood in your lungs, so you would have to be able to cover that up.

NO, there are visible signs to tell when you're drunk. Your driving, your eyes, your breath, your walking funny,and slurred speech.

I've heard a tablespoon of peanut butter will do it, but I've never tried.
