I'd suspect doing this would simply enable the cop to slap you with public intoxication, open container and other violations, in addition to the original DUI and impeding an investigation (possibly obstruction?)

Guess it depends on what the D.A. thinks he/she can make stick. Dunno, but it sounds like pretty lousy advice to me.
