A car breathalyzer device is also called Ignition Interlock Device. It's about the size of a cell phone and is connected to the ignition system. Before starting the vehicle you need to blow into the device to submit a breath sample. The device measures the alcohol level and makes sure it's below the pre-set limit, otherwise the device will prevent the vehicle from starting.

Can drinking an energy drink cause a false breathalyzer reading?
Absolutely they can. I have a breathalyzer in my car from a DUI and it registered after drinking a 180 Energy drink. I have a police issue breathalyzer I use to see what my BAC is before I attempt to start my car. I just tried an experiment. I blew a 0.000 then took a drink of a Rockstar Juiced Mango and Orange passion fruit. I immediately blew again and registered a 2.68 on my breathalyzer. After a drink of water I registered a 0.000, so do not drink an energy drink and then try to blow. Wait a minute or two, or drink a glass of water to clear from your system.
