Alcohol ranks among the world’s most popular and effective social lubricants, and, when used in moderation, it can turn a boring party into a raging success. Where wine flows, conversation is sure to follow, and lively music only serves to enhance the experience. When the party winds down and people begin to go their separate ways, troubles sometimes arise. It’s not always easy to gauge one’s level of intoxication.
Even a few social drinks can bump a person’s blood alcohol level above the legal limit, so it’s best to make sure you’re safe to drive. An alcohol breath tester becomes tremendously useful in situations like these; it has the potential to save lives as well as legal fees, black marks on driving records and even incarceration. There’s no need to let a good night turn bad, and a breath tester can prevent that eventuality.
When I moved to the East Coast a few years ago, I was concerned about my entire way of life changing. Back home in the Midwest I had been accustomed to going on camping trips in the remote woods of northern Michigan. Among our other hobbies, my friends and I would go on canoe and kayak trips at least once every few weeks. Just a week after moving, I noticed people kayaking in the ocean and wanted to get in on the experience.
The depth and clarity of the ocean make it a great place to see maritime life during the course of a kayak trip. While floating down the murky rivers near my hometown, I had missed out on much of the water-dwelling life forms – they were obscured by billowing clouds of mud and sand. A clear bottom kayak is incredibly useful in the ocean, however, where I’ve spied schools of fish, coral reefs and even a few sting rays just a few feet below the boat.
