I've never had one and don't plan to but an attorney fried who makes his living partly defeating this charge tells me the first thing is to challenge the accuracy of the breathalyzer. He also says, FWIW, to always refuse a field sobriety test, demand to speak to an attorney, etc. the point is to delay the breathalyzer or blood test long enough for you blood alcohol level to drop below the legal limit. He quickly adds that the magic word for beating a DUI is "taxi."
