How to Refuse a Breathalyzer

While the accuracy of these devices are debated, they are a generally accepted means of measuring blood alcohol levels. You may refuse to submit to a breathalyzer test if you wish, although you may incur more severe penalties for doing so. Laws vary from state to state.
