Absorption through the skin is extremely limited, although it could add to the blood alcohol content. It would still be detected by the Breathalyzer because it measures alcohol leaving the bloodstream in the lungs.

No, a breath test measures alcohol that is exhaled from the lungs after being metabolized by the liver. Alcohol absorbed through the skin would not be detected through a breath test.
