Question

 An alcohol breath test (ABT) is often used by the police to find out whether a person is drunk while driving. In the United States the legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08% for people aged 21 years or older while people under 21 are not allowed to drive a car with any level of alcohol in their body. A "positive" test result a result over the legal limit allows the police to arrest the driver. However many people who tested positive on the test have claimed that they only drank a "non-alcoholic" energy drink. Can one of these energy drinks really cause someone to test positive on an ABT? Researchers in Missouri set up an experiment to find out.
        First the amount of alcohol in 27 different popular energy drinks was measured. All but one had an alcohol level greater than 0.005%. In nine of the 27 drinks the alcohol level was at least 0.096%. The scientists then investigated the possibility that these small levels of alcohol could be detected by an ABT. They asked test subjects to drink a full can or bottle of an energy drink and then gave each subject an ABT one minute and 15 minutes after the drink was finished.
        For 11 of the 27 energy drinks the ABT did detect the presence of alcohol if the test was given within one minute after the drink was taken. However alcohol could not be detected for any of the drinks if the test was given 15 minutes after the drink was consumed. This shows that when the test is taken plays a crucial role in the test result. The sooner the test is conducted after the consumption of these drinks the more likely a positive alcohol reading will be obtained.
