I agree, but if the cop thinks you have been drinking you are losing your driving privileges regardless. The key is to not give them any additional evidence. You will be better off in the long run if you don't get convicted. If you say you were drinking any amount or fail a sobriety test, you are getting convicted.
Now in my current adulthood status I would say that if you take a sobriety test there is no way you will pass. I feel now that if you have to take that test you are all but already convicted. HOWEVER, as a young adult, leaving Hampton Beach NH, I was pulled over, took the field sobriety test and passed. I was drunk but not hammered, maybe 4 or 5 beers over 2.5 hours. The officer estimated me at 0.6 or something. But who knows, maybe it was my white priviledge.
