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 medication create false breathalyzer results?

I saw an episode of Mythbusters where they tried to beat the breathalyzer using tactics rumored to lower the reading. The results of their tests showed that none of the products worked except one (of which I can't remember the name). It actually made the breathalyzer read that the person had an incredibly dangerous amount alcohol in their blood. They did not try medication, but it is safe to say that there is no way to reduce breathalyzer results if you have had too much to drink.
