The short answer is no. The THC

Tetrahydrocannabinol

Tetrahydrocannabinol is one of at least 113 cannabinoids identified in cannabis. THC is the principal psychoactive constituent of cannabis. With chemical name-trans-Δ⁹-tetrahydrocannabinol, the term THC also refers to cannabinoid isomers.

breathalyzer is currently designed to detect THC in the breath of people who have recently smoked or vaped cannabis. Edibles will require a different type of test altogether since the body processes and metabolizes them differently and converts the THC into 11-Hydroxy-THC.

Even though vaped alcohol doesn't go through the body in the traditional route, it can still be detected on a Breathalyzer test. Remember that these tests involve blowing into the device. They determine a person's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) based on the air in a person's lungs.May 22, 2018

Can vaping alcohol affect a breathalyzer test?

If a drinker vaporized 1 cup of liquid, the drinker does not know if they have inhaled a few sips or the whole cup, since the liquid remains in the orb. Since a police breathalyzer or ignition interlock tests the air in your lungs for your blood alcohol concentration (BAC), you will have likely have a failed test after vaping alcohol.

Is vaping alcohol the next big thing in drinking?

But technology is allowing many drinkers to take it even further, one could even say deeper, by vaping alcohol. Vaping alcohol is the logical next step for the fans of nicotine vaping. Only you can still get drunk. You can still fail a breathalyzer.

Can I get a DUI on a breathalyzer test alone?

That's why many countries don't go by breathalizer alone. Testing positive gives them a reason to haul you in and have a blood sample taken, and only the latter counts in court for any DUI charges. Breathalizer alone just don't cut it because of so many false positive readings.

Can You Still get Drunk If you inhale alcohol vapor?

Only you can still get drunk. You can still fail a breathalyzer. When alcohol vapor is inhaled, it goes straight from the lungs to the brain and bloodstream, getting the individual drunk very quickly.

Can you get your car towed if you vape?

My point was also mainly along the lines that the amount of inconvenience a person can be put through merely because they vape. While a blood test would exonerate you, most departments will not return you to your vehicle if you test negative and are released. Most departments will have your vehicle towed immediately for road safety reasons. If you actually had to retain counsel and go to court to refute it, there is no reimbursement.

Can you cut a breathalyzer?

Breathalizer alone just don't cut it because of so many false positive readings. Vaping just adds to the long list of these. So if some law rep gets on that horse, I'd insist on having a blood sample taken.
