Drunk test

THINGS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO SAY WHEN DRUNK:
1. Innovative
2. Preliminary
3. Proliferation
4. Cinnamon

THINGS THAT ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO SAY WHEN DRUNK:
1. Specificity
2. Anti-constitutionalistically
3. Passive-aggressive disorder
4. Transubstantiate

THINGS THAT ARE DOWNRIGHT IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY WHEN DRUNK:
1. No thanks, I'm married.
2. Nope, no more booze for me!
3. Sorry, but you're not really my type.
4. Kebab ? No thanks, I'm not hungry.
5. Good evening, officer. Isn't it lovely out tonight?
6. Oh, I couldn't! No one wants to hear me sing karaoke.
7. I'm not interested in fighting you.
8. Thank you, but I won't make any attempt to dance, I have no coordination . I'd hate to look like a fool!
9. Where is the nearest bathroom? I refuse to pee in this parking lot or on the side of the road.
10. I must be going home now, as I have to work in the morning

My wife got pulled over one time when she was drunk.

She did not think she could walk the line without weaving, so she did the pass she did on the balance beam instead. She was quite the gymnastic gal as a youth. A twisting flip in the air is apparently a pretty impressive thing to see, so he let her go.

i don't understand why they still use "drunk tests" involving walking a white line and reciting the alphabet forwards and backward
hell, i can't even recite the alphabet backwards when i'm sober, that's just a silly thing to do

hand held breathalyzers ... blow, wait 5 seconds, and you have an objective result

They're not looking for accuracy but the way you do it. A lot of drunks tend to sing-song it. If you were methodical and your diction was good, you'd pass that part anyway.

Breath is good, more evidence is better. Breath tests don't detect drugs. They are still gonna put you thru the paces.

I don't recomend doing the road side stuff. Your on camera etc etc. Tell the officer that you will be happy to sumit to a blood or urine test but the follow the line, alphabet foward and back is not what your good at. Say it respectfully and be prepared to get in the squad car. They then have to make a decision on the spot to take you in or let you go. They then have an hour to get you tested or the results can be thrown out. In Georgia anyway.

Never give in to a roadside test, regardless of the threats to your license made by the officer. Always make them take you to the station. Always make them wait for your lawyer to arrive before agreeing to any tests. In Washington, those are your Constitutional rights, regardless of what the officer may try to intimidate you into believing.

Better advice would be to avoid consuming alcohol prior to driving.
