Don't Drink and Drive! Your Pen Says So!

No, this is not that kind of pen that detects wireless signals coming from a spy camera. This one can save your driver license! The Alcohol Breath&UB Warning Tester is a small UFO-cigar-like object that spares you the trouble of going over the list of drinks you had during your night out.

So, when you exit the club, disco or pub, you'll have to make the alcohol self-test. Turn the pen on, stick in your mouth (growse, isn't it?), blow and wait (and wait!). It has a LED that will light up in order to tell if you can drive or not. If you see a green light it means it's ok to drive your car. Finally, if you see a red light, it means you're really drunk and driving your car might not be a good idea. Better sleep in/with the bushes/Bushes or take a cab!

The pen-shaped alcohol tester also comes with an almost harmless ultraviolet sunlight detector. The Ultra Violet detector is made from a material that's sensitive to, uh, UV. It changes color to let you know if you're passing through a weak, medium or strong UV radiation. So, when you exit the pub better try the UV test before the alcohol test. If the pen warns you there's strong UV radiation around you, then you might be in trouble. The presence of UV radiation might mean that you're sitting in the center of a UFO landing site (or you might just be halucinating). Forget the alcohol test in this case, better run home!

The pen's manufacturer touted that the UV detector will only tell if it's safe for you to take a sunbath. Anyway, agent Scully knows that the truth is out there and will probably buy one. The Alcohol Breath&UV Warning Tester is priced 16,95 British pounds!
