Well, just another opinion, but my Brother-in-law is a public defender, and recommends politely refusing any sobriety tests ( if you know you're over the limit). The tests do help build a case against you, and their absence can help in your defense. Also, don't even admit you've had a drink, in some states that forces the officer to perform sobriety a test. They expect you to lie, even if it's just saying you had one or two, instead of a dozen!
If you're going to drink, buy a cheap breathilizer (sp?) to check yourself before driving.

Oh yeah, some states can compel blood testing, so in that case, you're screwed.
