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.
