Question
I accidentally drank alcohol but spit it out immediately! I rinsed my mouth out, but i'm worried because i have an alcohol ankle bracelet! Will it register?
Hi Rebecca,
)
The Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor (SCRAM) reads the blood alcohol content every hour and reports. Don White of Alcohol Monitoring Systems, which manufactures the device has said: "We're able to test the molecules of ethanol that are coming off the ankle, because five percent of everything you drink comes out your body."
Because you didn't swallow the alcohol and it wasn't ingested, I doubt if it would have registered.
I hope this information helps you.
Thank you for asking AllExperts
