This is dumb as fuck

Edit: and if you want valid reasons, how much are intake devices? $600 on the low end? So now we force the manufacturer to install them in every vehicle? Who absorbs the cost? The consumer? Yeah I like paying $600 more on cars for no reason. Not to mention how easy they are to bypass. There.

Im not opposed to the idea, but if breathalyzers were required in every car for them to start up, there would be sober people hanging outside of bars charging $10 to start cars for the drunks coming out.

A friend of mine got a breathalyzer as a novelty goft from his parents. I tried it one night after the first drink I had. It registered "error" which according to the instructions meant that my BAC was too high to measure, meaning I was in a coma or dead already. He and another friend both got the same result and they hadn't had any more than I had. It was a novelty gift though, so either it was so cheap that it didn't work properly or it actually did work properly and giving that error message all the time was the joke.

So pay extra for a feature that isn't even mandatory or required to use the vehicle? Why's that preferable to just having people caught dwi pay extra for them instead of everyone else?

No it's not.

I only drink socially, rarely to the point of significant impairment, and wouldn't be caught dead driving if I were impaired. I also have never had a DUI, and have also never been arrested or spent a single minute in jail.

I have no reason to have a breathalyzer in my car, and would be beyond justifiably pissed off if I had to blow into one every time I drove.

If you drink socially and then drive, it's almost certainly the case that you've had many DUIs, just not been caught.

Like I asked in the OP. Who knows exactly how many drinks affect them? No one. And its a very costly and dangerous assumption to make if youre even an tiny bit over.

So many people would voluntarily use it and make the right decision. Would it stop everyone, no, theres no way it wouldnt make a difference.

you may be surprised to learn why you register your car. Which, where Im from at least is an annual fee for every single person who wants to drive legally.

Someone mentioned it upthread, but the DWI laws in the US are WAAAYYYYY too relaxed.

If first offense for DWI was a $10,000 fine and a 2-year license suspension, you'd clean up drunk driving real quick

This is a flawed system and more people are guilty of it than they should be. If more people had the capability of knowing they were over the limit, it might go a long way in preventing drinking and driving.

If your aim is to curtail drunk driving then you undercut your own mission by insisting the breathalyzers aren't even there for their practical usage but instead for essentially shits and giggles.
