By sheer shit luck, I have never had an OUI.
I've been stopped while drunk off my ass. Not once have I been arrested. I've done field sobriety tests and still drove home.
My answer is generally the same. "Yeah, I had two beers - but it was over three or four hours."
The only reason I got one I was going 120 down a 25 MPH street at 3AM. I thought about running and losing the cop as I had a huge head start, but after I went around the curve in the road there were two cops coming from the other direction
Yeah, you're not gonna win that battle.
Back then, they were a lot more lax about drinking and driving. I've had incidents where I didn't even try to hide the beer between my legs and they just didn't care.
I just stopped. I could have lost him if the others were not so close by
