Think Twice
Think Twice wants to help patrons who are NOT visibly impaired understand their risk before driving. This breathalyzer education program is funded by the Gallatin DUI Task Force to make it free for alcohol serving establishments in the county.
DUI Prevention Strategy
The concept is simple: breathalyzers are used by law enforcement to arrest people after they drive away from a bar or restaurant, so it makes sense to offer patrons an easy way to understand when they should not drive.
To accomplish this goal, we promote a single-use breathalyzer that informs the user if they are within a range between 0.00% - 0.08% breath-alcohol-content (BAC). It’s important to note the device does NOT provide a specific BAC result above 0.08%. This feature allows patrons who are not apparently intoxicated to know when they should not drive without causing a legal issue for the business.
We suggest each breathalyzer be retailed for $2. and that is the most common interaction service teams will have with Think Twice.
The breathalyzers are made available for sale with signage approved by management like posters in restrooms, table tents, checkbook inserts, and bar coasters. All posters can be placed in frames with the objective to be a long-term Drink Responsibly campaign.

"...When I realized this wasn’t a game, which a lot of those things tend to be as people check to see how high their blood alcohol is. This one stops at .08 so it just gives people a good idea of where they’re at after they've had a few beers or a few drinks," said Red's Bar owner Mike Helean.
"People are definitely buying them," added Cranky Sam Public House owner Jen Heggen. She put signs in the bathrooms to remind people to at least think about their sobriety, hoping it triggers a sense of personal responsibility...
