If your pulled over and been drinking and the cop says " how much have you had to drink today?" reply to the officer that you have had NOTHING to drink. If you say that you have had even just 1 or 2, that gives the cop probable cause to get you out of the car. The cop has to have probable cause to give a field sobriety test. Smelling like alcohol though is enough though. I am not condoning driving drunk at all, but if you get pulled over and you know you are probably over the limit, say you have not been drinking and if they insist on field sobriety, turn it down and go spend the night in jail. They have absolutely no proof you were drinking. Just hope you are not in a state where they can force you to give a blood sample. A lot of states are starting to put this into law.
