I’m working on a project related to alcohol prevention and would really value your perspective

Hi everyone,

I hope this is okay to share here. I I’m genuinely looking for perspective.

I’m an engineer, and I’ve been working with new sensors that can detect alcohol through the skin. What pushed me wasn’t the tech itself, but the idea of using it for something that might actually help with alcohol-related accidents.

A lot of existing tools are accurate, but they’re often not used. They feel awkward, easy to ignore, or disconnected from real life. I’m trying to explore whether something simpler — a small, everyday object you actually carry with you — could act as a quiet reminder to pause, check, and think before driving.

I know technology doesn’t solve alcohol problems. This isn’t about control or judgment. It’s just about adding a small grain of sand to a very big problem, and hopefully preventing a few accidents along the way.

If you’re willing, I’d really value any honest thoughts on what helps, what doesn’t, and what should absolutely be avoided when designing anything related to alcohol prevention.

Thank you for reading.
