Some of these arrests are quite embarrassing. If you get busted, just cooperate, theatrics land you on Prime Time TV - https://www.youtube.com/...ure=youtube_gdata_player

But is it legal to have these tests shown on TV. I see a potential court case coming from this... Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

Now let us extrapolate ..
How much revenue did EABL pull in last year? They are going to take a massive hit ....so will KRA tax collection...10 to 15 billion perhaps from KBL alone? Not to mention the drinking establishments. The share will take a small hit as well. Some more domestic borrowing from the gavmint to cover the short fall....Credit will become just a little bit more expensive?
Cascade effect.
Not that I am saying alcoblow should be pulled How many billions is one life lost worth? How much would you pay a family that is orphaned as a result of drank driving to fully compensate them for the loss of their bread winner? How many billions would you pay a guy who shall no longer walk and have to depend on a wheel chair for the rest of his life? You can't put a monetary figure to the value of life ...yet strangely we do, and it is usually not worth billions, but just a couple of millions (and that is just for some people). Ask your insurer how much your life insurance cover tops out at, if you have one. See that rider I put in there and highlighted in red? That was to deflate any emotionally charged response, just like the one you have posted. It is touching, but it is also useless. Fait accompli. Alcoblow has happened. Allow me to repeat myself and say I am not advocating for it to be pulled from use, my question is what financial implications will come about from behavioural changes. Divorce yourself momentarily from emotional slingshots and enter the world of cold calculation and policy analysis. Like this: http://personal.lse.ac.u...ing_Bans_2011_01_19.pdf
The money's lost by the drinking joints establishment will definitely not be thrown into a hole or something. It will find itself in the economy through other means. Either booming businesses over the weekends... It could end up being diverted into salons as husbands give it all to their wives. The soft drinks industries may be the beneficiaries. It is good to conduct a survey of where drinkers will now take their monies and invest there. and most of those places (like most of the salons) evade tax like hell.

I really enjoy being stopped by this alcoblow guys when driving drunkards. They dont believe you are not drunk so they harass you to blow like 5 times. Then one had the audascity to request my drunk passanger to come out and blow. The fool almost did that.... if you try, you are framed pap! In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around....
