The "I couldn't do it if I was sober" thought has been a recurring theme throughout this thread. If you ever get pulled over, better resist the temptation to say it.

Also, someone else said the police are required to wait 15 min after they stop you before they can administer the breathalizer.
Not sure if that's true or not, but the officers I dealt with did take about that long before they had me give it a whirl. So mayber there is some truth to that.

Just thought I'd pass these tidbits along.

This works against you, in fact if you're breathalyzed at the roadside then again at the station it will likely be higher at the station. There's a factor for how long after drinks the alcohol peaks, I just don't remember what my cous told me..
