Diego Pooth Says Parents Made Him Take Breath Tests After Nights Out

He shared on Oliver Pocher’s podcast that the checks were his parents’ way to discourage underage drinking.

Overview

  • Pooth recounted that as a teenager he had to blow into a home breathalyzer whenever he returned from parties.
  • He said the device consistently showed a 0.0 reading for him, a detail he relayed with humor.
  • The breathalyzer was bought online and, according to Pooth, was never particularly accurate.
  • Despite German rules allowing beer and wine from age 16, his family enforced a stricter no-alcohol policy at home.
  • Now 22 and living independently in Berlin, the Let's Dance winner described the former rule as strict but well-intentioned.
