I can't do that when I'm sober ... so where does that leave me. Not being the most coordinated person ... or more exact ... being the most un-coordinated person, I've had to take blood alcohol tests to prove that my BA was 0 ( well not clinically ). Since all intent and purposes I don't drink and my balance and coordination ... suck, I've had to get a Dr's. certificate to carry with me ever since I 'stumble' from the grocery store and was taken to the station for DWI ... talking about embarrasing for all concerned. Especially that poor rookie who knew he was cleansing the streets of trash! I guess it didn't help that I was laughing during the whole incident.
I just tend to not go anywhere when there might be a "Sobriety Check Point" around.
Best,

I heard this on the radio yesterday. Almost no one who is legally drunk can complete this.
Stand on one leg for 15 seconds. Your leg can be as little as an inch off the ground.
After 15 seconds, immediately switch legs for 15 seconds. If you fail at any point in that test, you've had too much to drink. Get a cab.
