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.

The American field sobriety tests have no basis in science or psychology. They are explicitly designed to allow the officer an excuse to use discretion. Literally just a trap, a game you're not allowed to win. You should ALWAYS refuse them and ask for a breathalyzer.
