BACtrack is the leading breathalyser brand in the world. In fact, they currently hold 70% market share in the US, and their products are available in all leading retail chains, including and not limited to Walgreens, Best Buy, and Costco. Additionally, here in Australia, the breathalysers are ranged through many retail channels. Furthermore, there is a wide range of breath testing products to suit all budgets, situations, and requirements. In addition, BACtrack continues to innovate and will create new, more user-friendly, and affordable alcohol testing devices in the future.
Who are BACtrack?
BACtrack is a San Francisco based breathalyzer specialist. The company was formed in 2001 by its current CEO and founder, Keith Nothacker. Keith noticed that the use of breathalysers at this time was limited as they were purely in the domain of law enforcement. In fact, they were being used after the event when people were being caught driving under the influence of alcohol, so they were already posing a danger. Therefore, he realized that if people had their own personal devices, then safer, more informed decisions would follow. For example, fewer people would get behind the wheel in the first place, making the roads safer for all.
Make Better Decisions
Following this, Keith also decided to use the company to spread information on the health and well-being repercussions of drinking to make better decisions about alcohol in general. BACtrack was born, and its breathalysers are now used in businesses, schools, homes, and institutions in over 85 countries.

BACtrack in The Media
Over the years, Keith has appeared on many well-known media channels such as Dr Phil, CNBC, Fox 2. Additionally, the company has also been published in magazines and newspapers such as The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Popular Science Magazine, and Car & Driver Magazine. In 2008 the popular TV show “MythBusters” used a BACtrack breathalyser to discuss alcohol and breathalysers’ myths. In 2011 Dr Phill and “The Doctors” described the S80 Pro as “a necessary safety device.”
In 2004, the San Francisco-based company became the first to obtain FDA approval in the USA to make and sell breathalysers for private use. Since then, the company has strived to create technologically advanced, reliable, accurate, and affordable products. As a result, this makes BACtrack the world leader in personal breathalyzers. For example, in 2017, 3 of the Top 5 Best Breathalysers available to buy for personal use as judged by “Business Insider” were BACtrack breathalysers.
Latest Innovations by BACtrack
The company is now the global innovator of breath alcohol testing technology. Having released the world’s first smartphone-connected breath tester in 2016, BACtrack released the world’s first wearable alcohol monitor called the Skyn in 2019. It uses trans-dermal monitoring technology to sample secretions of alcohol through the skin around the test subject’s wrist area through continuous monitoring giving real-time results to the wearer. Furthermore, the Skyn was awarded the Grand Prize in the NIH “Wearable Alcohol Biosensor Challenge” and became sought worldwide.
Helping With Alcohol Consumption
In 2019, the company released BACtrack View, a testing app that allows friends and/or relatives of a subject to monitor their alcohol consumption. First, the View uses the front-facing camera to photograph the subject using a BACtrack Mobile device to test their breath. Thereafter, this image proves that the correct person completing the breath test with the results then shared remotely with the person monitoring the test.
This process allows alcoholics to be held accountable to their friends and family and can also be used to prove sobriety in custody or other legal situations. What is more, the tests can also be set as a regular reminder, and missed tests will notify the person monitoring the subject. This system is currently offered as a subscription program, with a Mobile breathalyzer device also included in the fee.
BACtrack breathalysers are not just about reducing drink driving statistics and avoiding traffic tickets but equally important is the work BACtrack puts into making it easier for you to manage your sobriety when attempting to reduce or eliminate alcohol from your life. Helping make the journey from addict to sober easier is an important part of the story. Furthermore, company technicians constantly work on new, more efficient, and affordable ways to do this. BACtrack has also conducted intensive research into why, how, and when people drink to create an overview of alcohol consumption worldwide that can be used for many purposes.
