Breathalyzers are expensive, so BACtrack decided to move the blood alcohol meter to the wrist and make it more accessible to the masses. The new piece in the ever-expanding range of wearable technology is called Skyn, and it uses sweat to determine blood alcohol concentration.
Skyn it is a bracelet that tells us how drunk we are based on sweat. It determines with the help of pot the presence of alcohol in the blood. The bracelet is still in the development phase and, unlike breathalyzers and similar devices, it does not (yet) show you the level of alcohol in real time.

Skyn bracelet needs 45 minutes, to determine the alcohol content in the blood, so it cannot be relied on yet, and in the future, engineers plan to significantly reduce the time, so that we can say goodbye to expensive and rather impractical breathalyzers.
