Define "drunk"?
I don't want to open a whole separate can of worms but Ive seen plenty of people keep it right down the center of the lane while more than double the legal limit. Nevermind something like .05. It is a scientific fact that some level of impairment should take place but its not the same for everyone. Ditto for no phone/no texting laws. I'm arrogant enough about my driving capabilities to say I can talk on the phone all day and not be any less safe. The dumb blonde up the street who cant drive sans distractions nevermind on a phone? Different story. Everyone is different.
I don't condone drinking and driving but I can't stand the extent to which it can totally ruin somebodies life, especially in MA. It is nothing short of draconian. Avoid, avoid, avoid putting yourself in the situation but if it does happen and you are anywhere near borderline, I echo what others have said: give them no evidence, refuse field tests, refuse searches repeatedly if/when asked and expect to end up in cuffs. Don't resist, obviously. You will end up on a 180 day suspension but your chances of a conviction for DUI just went way down. Either way, its gonna look bad on your criminal and driving record in MA and will likely affect suitability.
I won't have more than about 3 beers before driving and if I do, I'm gonna let some time pass but unfortunately, every time I look at a story like this it is a bit of a wake up call to me. I consider my life pretty mundane and boring but often read things that make me say to myself "geeze, you are taking too many risks". Welcome to MA!
