If you are stopped for suspicion of drunk driving and asked if you’ve had anything to drink, there are severalthings that you can do, however these options have potential consequences, depending on the circumstances. First of all, if you've been drinking and have a legal blood alcohol (BAC) limit of 0.08 or more, then nothing can keep you from being arrested. Thay having been said, making the right choice regarding the appropriate option for your specific situation may help your DUI case.
