Re: CHL and having a drink

The way this charge will go down, unlike DWI, is that there is no requirement or procedure for breath or blood draw. That leaves it up to officer digression.
It'll be a charge like "public intoxication" - which can be used with great latitude. The burden of proof will then be on the person charged, as the LEO is an "expert" witness trained in recognizing impairment with no substantial motivation to lie.
