I'm curious to know, does consuming kava, a traditional Pacific Island beverage, have any potential to trigger a positive result on a breathalyzer test commonly used to detect alcohol consumption? Given its relaxing effects and potential use in social settings, it's essential to understand if it could be mistakenly identified as alcohol consumption, especially for those who may be required to undergo such tests for work or legal reasons. Could you clarify whether KAVA consumption affects breathalyzer readings and, if so, in what manner?

Could you elaborate on the concept of passing a breathalyzer within 12 hours? Are you asking if it's possible to metabolize alcohol to a point where you'd no longer test positive for alcohol consumption on a breathalyzer after 12 hours? It's important to note that the time it takes for alcohol to leave your system can vary significantly based on factors like weight, gender, metabolism, and the amount and type of alcohol consumed. While some individuals may be able to metabolize a small amount of alcohol within 12 hours, others may still test positive on a breathalyzer, depending on their unique circumstances. Is this what you're asking?

I'm curious, does vodka actually show up on a breathalyzer? I've heard that some alcoholic beverages might not register properly on these devices, but I'm not entirely sure if vodka falls into that category. Is there a specific amount of vodka consumption that would be necessary for it to be detected on a breathalyzer? And if so, how long after consumption would it typically take for vodka to be detectable on a breathalyzer? Any insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
