This is the preferred method by police for
initially determining if someone is intoxicated
based on alcohol. It is not a proper test for
other substances, such as street drugs or
prescription drugs.

Urine tests are more invasive (both from a
privacy standpoint and a hygiene standpoint). The
test requires careful handling to avoid
contamination. They cant be done on the side of
the highway.

preferred method for police officers, but not

invasive, and people who are acting intoxicated
are often not controlled when they are about to
be stuck with a needle
