Alcohol Testing Stand
How to Set Up an Effective Alcohol Testing Stand at Your Event ?
Planning an event and want to ensure your guests leave safely? Setting up an alcohol testing station is a smart and responsible solution. Here's a step-by-step guide to doing it right, with support from Fluxology.
1. Choose the Right Location for the Test Station
Select a strategic but discreet location — visible and easy to access, preferably near the venue exit or the main departure point. The goal is to make testing convenient while respecting participants' privacy.
💡Tip: Clear signage such as “Check your alcohol level before driving” is key. Fluxology can also provide signage materials as an optional add-on (posters, banners, roll-ups, etc.).
2. Set Up the Proper Equipment
Fluxology provides police-grade alcohol breath testers, certified and regularly calibrated. Each unit comes with single-use mouthpieces to ensure safe and hygienic operation.
✔ Certified, calibrated alcohol testing device
✔ Individual disposable mouthpieces
✔ Table, chairs, hand sanitizer, closed waste bin
✔ Optional signage to make the stand visible and engaging
3. Include a Trained Steward On-Site
A trained steward is present to welcome guests, perform the tests, and deliver results in a friendly and confidential manner.
If a guest exceeds the legal alcohol limit, several safe return solutions can be offered as part of the event’s planning:
- Taxi vouchers or discounts
- Partnerships with safety groups like Responsible Young Drivers
- Shuttles or designated driver services
👉 Fluxology can help coordinate these safety options within your event logistics.
4. Communicate Before and During the Event
Before the event: announce the presence of the alcohol testing station through your usual communication channels (emails, social media, website).
During the event: ensure visibility with clear signage (provided by you or Fluxology).
🎤 Tip: Have your host or DJ remind guests of the testing option at the end of the evening.
5. Make Prevention a Positive Experience
This is not about catching or blaming anyone — it’s about giving your guests the tools and information they need to make smart, safe choices. Done right, it’s a gesture they’ll appreciate.
