Could this technique also help with weight loss, as co2 is a byproduct of metabolizing fat.

Can we change the title to be less clickbait-y? "Hyperventilation Is Proven to Accelerate Elimination of Alcohol from the Body"

So, just run a mile or three to sober up (without the need for any device) .. seems pretty straightforward. Though you likely won't be running straight. :D

Seems really interesteling, I'll have to try it sometime. But does hyper ventilating really make you pass out after a couple minutes? I guess I've never tried, but it sounds counterintuitive.

I'm sure there was fun to be had doing this study!

The answer is yes. Just try blowing up an air mattress at the beach. Soon you will feel tingly and need to take a break. Or possible use this device and blow like a champion come beach days
