You have a right to refuse a breathalizer, but it makes you look really guilty when you do, and you can be arrested and charged anyway!

Absolutely. When you obtain your driver's license, you automatically consent to submit to any lawful DUI test (e.g. field sobriety, breath, blood or urine) that may be administered by a law enforcement officer. Refusal is grounds for arrest.

This is because an officer must determine BAC (blood alcohol content) percentage using one of a few tests at the time of arrest in order to prosecute...
