breath test

Blow into this

A breath test is a procedure in which a sample of someone's exhaled breath is analyzed, most commonly to measure blood alcohol content during traffic stops or sobriety checkpoints.

Police officers administer breath tests using devices called breathalyzers to determine whether a driver is legally impaired.

Medical breath tests can also detect certain bacteria or measure substances related to digestive conditions.
