You thinking you aren't impaired versus you actually being impaired are two different things. If you had been in an accident involving someone else the outcome would have probably been different. I think the better LPT would be to not drink and drive. I am friends with someone that was involved in an accident where he was drinking, it's not good. When I was in military they had classes and would let people do a test drive sober and then after one beer and compare the differences, it is a pretty obvious difference in reaction times.

This may be very bad advice, depending on your state.

Can I Refuse a Breathalyzer Test?

Thank you for that information. I live in Washington state and the officer explicitly told me it was optional and explained the consequences of declining the test. I'll edit my post.

3 glasses of wine in 4 hours... yea that's your own fault.

Next time don't be an idiot and call a taxi.

You can also blow lightly if they are really pushing for you to take the test. "Sorry officer I have low lung capacity"

LPT: If you've had ANYTHING to drink and a police officer asks you to blow into a breathalyzer, DON'T DO IT! You have nothing to gain, but everything to lose.
