Tool Helps Prevent Halloween Drunk Driving Tragedies

Holbrook, NY—Halloween is fast becoming one of the most scary and deadliest holidays on U.S. highways. With millions of Americans making plans to attend Halloween parties this week, a New York company urges partygoers who plan to drink to take a simple test before they get behind the wheel. Alco-Buddy, a patented breathalyzer with a accuracy rate of +/- .01, allows bar patrons to test their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level and prevent them from hitting the roads and endangering others.

“People are gearing up this week for Halloween parties at their local bars. Alco-Buddy is a simple and affordable test that gives patrons the information they need to make a responsible decision about driving if they’ve had too much to drink.” says John Berlingieri of Alco-Buddy.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) survey estimates 1 in 5 Americans admit they have driven drunk. The statistics for Halloween drunk driving are frightening. According to NHTSA, nearly 60% of all Halloween highway fatalities across the country involved a driver with a BAC of .08.

Berlingieri added, “Prevention is key. Drunk driving is a serious problem in this country and can not only lead to tragedy but also jail time, loss of your license and increased insurance rates. Alco-Buddy can help prevent drunk driving by providing patrons with accurate information quickly so they can make a responsible decision, stay off the roads and find another way home.”
