Our adventures in science continue in Can You Fail It. This time, we will be seeing if you can fail a breathalyzer with apple juice. We received a request to test the drink to see if it can fool a breathalyzer and we duly complied. We will be testing SunRype apple juice.
Apple juice does not list alcohol in its ingredients. However, does it contain something that can lead you to fail a breathalyzer?
In “Can You Fail It?”, we put everyday household items to the test to ask, Can You Fail It? That is, can you give a false positive reading on an approved screening device (ASD) after consuming it.
We are looking to see if these products will generate a false positive reading on an approved screening device. That is, can they trick a breathalyzer into showing there is alcohol present in your body. Even just by being present in your mouth. Your body does not have to absorb them to show up on a breathalyzer.
We have already seen there are a number of surprising household items that can generate a false positive reading on an ASD. To see some of the previous items we have tested in the name of science, take a look at our YouTube playlist.
Watch the video to find out if you can fail a breathalyzer with apple juice.
You can watch one of our previous videos, where we tested kombucha, here.
The small amount tested will not show a false positive. But from what I understand in a urine test if a large amount of apple juice is consumed it can show a false positive in your urine. That is the test I would love verified.
