The machines are still being manufactured right now, but it will be in restaurants and bars all over the country to show drinkers how much they've had to drink that night. It is not enforced by law and it is solely for the individual's knowledge. No records will be kept. The founder of the machine says its purpose is to help people make better decisions on whether or not they should get behind the wheel.

"Most people don't understand how many drinks it takes to get them to be a certain BAC level whether they're intoxicated or impaired...and they need that tool and they want that tool to know," says Jim Czachorowski, the founder of BACMaster.

Harrisonburg will be the first city that will have these new machines. They will be in local bars and restaurants within the next month.
