Trutouch uses infrared, skin to determine level of drunkenness

Did you go vote? Good, now forget about all of that nonsense and get ready to celebrate the true meaning of this day: to drink. While being Super Tuesday, it is also Fat Tuesday, or the start of Mardi Gras and a reason to drink yourself into a non-political stupor. Once you have gotten yourself all liquored up, it is about the appropriate time to test for the blood alcohol level. Nobody like blowing into a breathalyser, so Trutouch is here with a machine that looking shockingly similar to a cash register that detects blood alcohol levels through the skin.

You place an arm on a sensor pad and it uses reflected infrared light to measure the alcohol concentration in the blood, through the skin. It is supposedly comparable with the standard breathalyser and for the law enforcement, it is much easier to get a drunken Hillary-supporter to place an arm on a pad, rather than blowing into a breathalyser.
