How to Get Rid of Booze Breath
Having "booze breath"---breath that smells like liquor---can put a driver under suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol if stopped by a police officer while driving. If a police officer smells alcohol on your breath, she can investigate you further, under suspicion that you may be driving under the influence. If you fail these tests, she can issue a ticket or arrest you for driving under the influence, commonly called a "DUI." A DUI can have serious consequences on your drivers license, employment and pocketbook, so it's best to never drive under the influence of alcohol.
