Well, it boils down to two methods. If they do a BAC, and you are .08 or higher, then there is no question you are legally intoxicated. In the other method, it is much tougher to prove you are intoxicated and the prosecutor is going to have to prove in court you were actually intoxicated. This will be through testimony of the arresting officer(s), witnesses and any video and audio recordings they might have. That will be a much tougher road to prosecution that through a BAC.
I'll go along with that as long as you don't use you firearm. If you pull the trigger on someone justifiably and a witness saw you with a drink or there is the smell on you breath I think the DA is going to have a hayday with you. Seems to be an unnecessary risk to hope you can prove you were not impaired.

"Or" is a mighty big word in this case.
