Unclear on the concept

Someone's apparently designing a credit card with a built in breathalyzer, to let you know when you're too drunk to responsibly be using it. Somehow it seems to me that if you're seriously drunk, then a) you're not going to remember to check the breathalyzer strip on your card if you take it out to get more booze or whatever, b) you're not going to pay it the slightest bit of attention if you accidentally tip over on top of it and breathe on it anyhow, and c) you're just going to lose the thing in your current state if you take it out, regardless of anything else.
This just seems really, REALLY unclear on the basic concept of what people DO when they're drunk, right?
