Friends create iPhone app to estimate blood alcohol

A drunken driving test may not seem the likeliest place to come up with a mobile phone app, but that’s when inspiration struck Nashville resident Clay Bradley.

He told The Nashville Ledger that he was following a policeman’s pen with his eyes when he thought a smartphone could be used for the same purpose.

He mentioned his idea to a couple of friends, and they came up with BreathalEyes.

The 99-cent app launched in November and can be used to measure involuntary eye movements when people are intoxicated, which is one method police use in field sobriety tests.

It’s only a matter of time before the police catch on  and add it to their arsenal of unscientific DUI testing methods.
