That is not true as far as I'm aware. I'm seen studies performed where different items were used on a breathalizer and not one of them caused the machine to read any difference besides actual alcohol.

While if one is running high they may breath off an alcohol smell, it's not one the machine will pick up. Just one our noses think is the same.
