The Real Cost of Drink Driving — And How a $175 Breathalyser Can Save You Thousands

Every year, thousands of people make the mistake of driving after drinking — often thinking they’re "fine" to get behind the wheel. But even a small miscalculation can lead to serious financial, legal, and personal consequences.

That’s why a personal breathalyser like Alcolyzer is more than just a handy gadget — it’s a powerful tool for making safer, smarter decisions. And with a price tag of just $175, it’s a small investment that could save you from massive costs down the line.

The True Cost of a Drink Driving Charge

Many people are shocked by the full financial impact of a drink driving offence. It's not just about the fine — it's everything that comes with it.

Here’s a breakdown of common expenses:

  • Fines & Legal Fees: These can quickly add up depending on the severity of the offence

  • Legal Representation: Hiring a lawyer for court can cost thousands

  • License Suspension: Losing your ability to drive may affect your job or daily responsibilities

  • Insurance Premium Hikes: Many see significant increases to their car insurance premiums

  • Mandatory Interlock Devices: These are often required after an offence, with ongoing service fees

Total cost? Easily $5,000 to $10,000 — or more.

Lifestyle Impacts That Go Beyond Money

Drink driving doesn’t just hit your wallet — it affects your life in real, lasting ways:

  • Limited Mobility: Losing your license can disrupt your work, travel, and independence

  • Career Consequences: Many industries require a clean driving record or background check

  • Criminal Record: A conviction can limit future opportunities — including international travel

  • Mental Toll: Regret, anxiety, and stress are common after such an incident
