That is why on a breathalyzer, you do not refuse, you want to speak to your attorney first.
I have no doubt the rules on field sobriety test vary from state to state. One cold evening in Nebraska, Dad got pulled over and they wanted him to stand on one foot and touch his nose. He told them, "I have a bad knee, the sidewalk is icy and I am an attorney. If I were to fall and be injured, not only would I hold the Police Dept responsible, I would hold you personally responsible. Do you really want me to attempt this?" The shift supervisor shows up, happened to play HS football with Dad, apologized and we went on our way.
One time, my wife got pulled over, probably legally drunk. He asked her to walk the white line. She took a few steps, did a flip with a full twist, landing back on the white line, turned and asked if he wanted her to do any other tests, he declined.
