It depends on both the make and model of the CPAP.

Bottom of the line CPAPs will store only usage data on the SD card. Higher end CPAPs and APAPs store flow rate data (a record of every breath you take all night long); a record of each event---what kind it was, when it happened, and how long it lasted; detailed leak data; information about snoring and flow limitations; and (in the case of APAPs) pressure data that shows how the machine changed the pressure throughout the night.

Why do you keep posting under different names.... This is a Sleep Apnea message board....The SD card measures apnea events while you sleep. It doesn't measure alcohol levels...
