I recently read the book <i>I Hope They Server Beer in Hell</i> by Tucker Max. For those not in the know it is basically a collection of stories about his drunken exploits with drunken friends and drunker women. In the first story he tells how he once purchased a portable breathalyzer to take out with him to the bars. It immediately becomes a contest to find who can get the drunkest the quickest. And of course the night ends with him passing out and waking up the next day outside somewhere without his pants. But he still had the breathalyzer. He takes another puff into it to see if he's still drunk and he blows a .09. Here is how he ends the chapter. "That device is awful. It is the devil dressed in a transistor. My advice to you: Avoid it at all costs."

Then today I finally got the chance to read Jim's FTB answers and I read the story about how he received a bicycle speedometer as a boy and it drove him to pedal faster and faster until he face-planted into some gravel and had to get a face transplant looking to this day looks like a white Mike Tyson.

So I ask you... Which is more evil? The portable breathalyzer or the bicycle speedometer?

portable breathalyzer drinking contests are awesome. My high score is 0.26.

I had a portable breathalyzer in college. The only problem with it was that you needed to wait 20 minutes without drinking to get an accurate reading, otherwise it would be higher than it really was. My highest (that I remember) after waiting the twenty minutes was a .35. My record in a police breathalyzer is .24.
