In order to be charged with drunk driving your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) needs to be over a set limit. In most of the cases this limit is 0.08%. the common drunk driving tests will reveal whether you are drunk or not. By analyzing your breath, blood or urine one can prove that you are drunk. There is also a test, named field sobriety test, where you will be asked to perform a number of tasks that would reveal your physical or cognitive abilities. The refusal of testing will only aggravate things. Don't forget that there could be also a lot of different evidences of drunk driving. Unusual driving and/or unusual drivers conduct or appearance may cause suspicion. If driver's breath smells like alcohol and his/her speech is slurred, that can become a reasonable evidence of drunkenness.
