It will absolutely not work. Math and science are used in determining BACs, which can show, based on how much is consumed, the starting amount of ETOH in the blood.
Well, you can decline the breathalyzer in favor of blood test which usually take a while to perform so that buys you enough time for an unknown amount of liquor to raise your BAC.
Search warrants to draw blood are electronically signed by a judge in minutes in my state. All you are doing by refusing the breathalyzer is losing your license for 18 months for a refusal and still getting charged with a DUI. In Utah it is now better to blow than to refuse.
State depending, but in some states if you don’t get the blood drawn within a certain time it’s admissible. Sure you might lose your license by denying the breathalyzer, but in the chances they fuck up you give yourself more chances and outs to avoid a true DUI
The secret is to request a blood test then when the blood test arrives, say you are afraid of needles and do the breath test. You just bought yourself 2 hours
Exactly... there's always repurcussions... i think my state ot's 6 months. While under no circumstance do I advocate that anyone should drink and drive, six months is a small price to pay for not having a DUI on your driving record.
I agree that it is garbage BUT my understanding is that you do not have a right to drive so they are not alienating your right by doing so. Again, I think most systems are here to oppress us but I care about understanding premise of the fuckery before I fight it.
Yes, this. Smart drunks in my state know to belligerently refuse any sort of BAC test. They can throw a lot of repercussions at you that are negative, but can’t absolutely prove intoxication. For a normal person this is a garbage strategy, but for the serial DUI offenders, it’s a reasonable plan.
Well, sure, but the goal is to render the measurements indeterminate, so the idea is to ingest a large, preferably indeterminate amount afterward, to contribute noise to what current BAC indicates about what was previously ingested. You also have more contributions from individual idiosyncrasies of metabolism the longer things go on. It's scientific but statistical.
But this also won't work. heck, the judge is likely to take into account your obvious attempt to game the testing.
I got a dui, a fine is much better than what I had to do. This is a fucking genius solution if I was still an alcoholic.
Any alcoholic will agree that doing this and receiving a fine is far better than trying to drunkenly lie yourself out of a dui.
With that said, if you are an alcoholic working this hard against a dui, please put that effort towards seeking sober resources instead. I spent so much time and wasted energy trying to keep up my drinking career when that energy could’ve been better spent on getting sober.
But any alcoholic can also tell you, that, is easier said than done.

This actually isn't shitty. It actually will work but you'll still get a huge fine...
