Abstract: An intoxication detection device includes: a gas detection sensor; a gas storage recess which is recessed to accommodate the gas detection sensor therein; and an exhaust fan formed adjacent to the gas storage recess. The intoxication detection device is configured to detect an alcohol component contained in a discharge gas discharged from a skin of the driver without contacting the skin in response to a hand of the driver being brought close to the gas detection sensor. The exhaust fan is operated for a predetermined period of time while a state of the hand blocking the gas storage recess is detected, and during the operation, the exhaust fan is configured to exhaust air or the discharge gas stored in the gas storage recess. The gas detection sensor is set so as to measure the discharge gas stored in the gas storage recess after the exhaust fan stops operating.
