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.
