It’s a tiny device that can keep drunk drivers off the streets.

The device is called the “BreathScan”, and one a local business is now selling them inside their new bar.

At theƂ Boston Pub, the breathalyzer sits next to the cigarettes. The bar, which is set to open this weekend, is located near U.T.S.A. and is sure to see it’s share of students.

“That’s the first time I’ve every heard of a vending machine giving out breathalyzers,” said U.T.S.A. freshman Mohammad Ali. “I’d like soda from my vending machine. But a breathalyzer? I guess that’s new, but it might catch on.”

So, if you’re having a few too many, you can easily find out.

“It’s a warning sign for them that ‘hey you know, I’m getting close. I need to stop’,” said bartender Jessica Vaught.
