BREATHALYZERS DISCRIMINATE AGAINST WOMEN IN DUI & DWI CASES
Women are different from men in how they absorb and metabolize alcohol. Women have less water in their bodies and more adipose tissue, or fat, which is not easily penetrated by alcohol. This , consequentially, causes women to reach higher blood alcohol concentration (BAC) levels faster than men.
Breathalyzers have had a long history over their lack of effectiveness and lack of scientific validity when used as evidence in courts. It is allegedly based upon the "perfectly average person". The problem is, there is no such"perfectly average person". There is across-the-board variability in blood-to-breath ratios in each and every individual.
Another of many factors to consider in the breathalyzer bias against women is that women may experience fluctuations in hormone levels during their menstrual cycles that may further affect the rate at which women metabolize alcohol. This can cause a breathalyzer device to over-estimate or over-report a woman's true blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level. There are many other factors as well which can contribute to bias against women by the breathalyzer.
