you CAN ask for a blood test rather than the BA.
Its far harder for the cops to **** you over with a out of adjustment
or "tweaked" BA. If I were a drinker..even a social one..and there was
any doubt in my mind..Id go for the blood test. And depending on
where you live..by the time they get you to a hospital and start
drawing your blood..it may well have metabolized a significant amount
of alky.


If I were on the jury, I'd accept a well-documented "metabolism chart"
to allow the prosecution to project the probable BAC at the time of
arrest.
