This device is called a transdermal alcohol detector, it detects alcohol in sweat. Although there have been some false calls due to perfume or other alcohol based products this has already caught 16 people who were not supposed to consume. When the device detects alcohol it sends a signal to police alerting them at which point the person is brought it and must undergo a breathalizer test.
