breath test
This was me this afternoon; blowing into a plastic tube. My own fault - I had been drinking. Four glasses as it happens.
I’d had nothing to eat since last night and by about 1 o’clock this afternoon I was starving. So I had my first drink. (See extra.)
A ’test meal’ they called it. Could have been vodka for all I knew. A couple more glasses, then “blow in to this please”. I’m shown this diagram in case I don’t understand what to do.
I’m given a different drink - water with a dash of Carbon-13. They say it’s tasteless and colourless. Who am I to argue ? They’re the experts.
Then I’m sent to another room to "sit quietly” for 30 minutes.
“We need to do another breath test.” I blow again. “We’ll send this off to the lab - it’ll take about two weeks.” And with that I’m free to go.
I drive home hoping I'm not over the Carbon-13 limit.
