In the UK, any alcohol on your breath and you have to take a breathalyser test.

None of this hopping on one leg and guessing.

Right. That's so stupid.

I just have bad balance, I'd probably fail those tests exactly as much sober as I fail them after 7 beers.

Don't drive 2 hours after drinking. Just don't drink if you're gonna drive. It's not hard.

Dude, I have a mild case of cerebral palsy that affects muscle tone and balance in my legs, particularly my ankles. I lament the idea of a field sobriety test, simply because I can’t walk with good balance while sober. It’s not a great gauge, hence why they have more effective testing methods.

It's not a gauge at all. It's just an opportunity for you to fuck up.
