I did see the ones from Spain but im not sure what it costs to get one over to the US even if i could buy only a few at a time. From what I can tell there may be shipping fees and import fees to go with it. I also think I would end up using a different type of bill validator and possibly look into putting a coin mech in there, there seems to be plenty of space in these boxes.

I think mounted to a wall with a modified stand under it would be the best way to have it.

yeah the hazard was the people, which would probably move if there was fire anyways. The bars thought they were helpful with the people they thought were too drunk to get another drink. One bar said they might be able to get a lower insurance rate by having one, but Im not sure if they were that serious about that or not. One thing to get past while talking to managers and such about it is the legal issue of being responsible, most people dont know that the test would have to be given by a police officer to be legal in court.

Im actually looking to buy and place a few of these myself and the bars that I have been talking to say that they used to have them and that they loved them. The only problem with them was that people would rip them off the wall, Im guessing a heavy drunk person could do that by using it to hold themselves up. The bar tenders all said that they were used a lot on the weekends by people having "drink you under the table" games. One bar did tell me though that they did not like them a whole lot because they said that they created a bit of a fire hazard by their door. Have you picked out the brand you are interested in yet?

with the company that i work for just about the only thing we have around here thats alcohol based is windex and it seems to do the job fairly well and i have not noticed any adverse effects from it.
