Interesting

Found this on the exante forum thought it was interesting


I think a worse problem to worry about is that the majority of hand-held breathalyzer machines in the UK can't tell the difference between ethanol (that's in booze) and isopropanol (which is in our breath whilst in ketosis). The legal drive limit is 35micrograms per 100ml of breath, people in ketosis can give a reading of anywhere up to 12mg/100ml, so an innocent one drink can push someone over the drink-drive limit.

Obviously if you were to get arrested, demand a blood sample to show that your BAC is under the limit, but nonetheless, no-one wants that embarassment! Apparently a binge on carbs can reduce this isopropanol such as mints etc that could be in your car.

Ha ha that's exactly what I would be like too - I think I would probably lose my temper though and end up being arrested anyway lol

I would probably be rendered unfit to drive anyway! I couldnt drive ok after one drink and a bucket of carbs!
