I received a DUI two weeks ago... The only alcohol that I consumed, was 2 beers with my lunch at 11:30 A.M... I did not drive until 2:30 P.M... I was arrested at 3:30 P.M. because the officer smelled alcohol, after someone ran me off the road... I called the police myself... He asked me if I had anything to drink, and I admitted that I did, at 11:30... I was transported to the police station, and was administered a Breathalyzer Test at 5:00 P.M... The test came back with a .23, which is about 3 times over the limit... The officer said that he could still smell alcohol on me... I couldn't believe it... I posted bail, and was released... After returning home and thinking about everything, I realized what the high Breathalyzer result was probably caused by...

A few days earlier, I went to my storage unit, to remove some items... All of the items had been there for the past 6 years... I also found 2 half empty cans of freezing hairspray that were stored there... I brought them home and used some... I spray my hair very well, so a lot of spray was used... This was around 2:45 P.M... My question is, "Could the alcohol content in the aerosol hairspray had gotten stronger, which could have contributed to the Breathalyzer results to be so high & me acting like I was intoxicated"?. Alcohol Denat is the # 1 Ingredient... Also, this would be my 2nd Dui...

Simple answer is no.
That's NOT how a breathalyzer works. Besides drunk is drunk, the law does't care if you drank it or gave yourself an enema with it. The fact its in your bloodstream is all that matters.
