When someone's 21st birthday approaches, it signifies one thing: being old enough to legally drink. Being able to go out to bars and drink socially for the first time is an occasion worth celebrating. When it comes to gift-giving, many people will buy the birthday boy or girl a bottle of his or her favorite wine or liquor--so do something different that's also practical.

One of the biggest problems for these new drinkers is that they are probably unfamiliar with being drunk. Certainly, a night of birthday pub-crawling will serve as a prompt introduction to inebriation and the requisite hangover. However, it's often lesser levels of intoxication that are most dangerous--when someone is sober enough to speak clearly and walk out to his car, but his judgment and reflexes are impaired by alcohol.

It's because of these situations that a portable breathalyzer from AlcoTester.com makes a great 21st birthday gift. Inexperienced drinkers may be more inclined to think that they're okay to drive, especially if they have only been drinking socially. A breathalyzer gives a clear, accurate, and instantaneous reading of a person's BAC (blood alcohol content) with a single blow, giving a clear reading of just how intoxicated someone is.

In these situations, a breathalyzer can make all the difference between a good decision and a bad one. Everybody else will make sure that the birthday celebrant has a full liquor cabinet--so you should make sure he or she is safe.
