Re: If not \"Two Beers, Officer\", then what?

Apparently you missed my field sobriety trip report from last week. While they can't force you to take a field sobriety test, if you refuse, you're pretty much screwing yourself.

I didn't miss the thread... I'm using "force" in the context of "if I don't do it, I'm automatically screwed." I sense this thread is going off on a small tangent...
What I'm trying to get at is this: The officer is not going to ask for a sobriety test unless he has reason to believe you might be under the influence. I've been pulled over 3 times and never asked to take a test (because I wasn't under the influence those 3 times)... however, if the cop asks if you've had anything to drink, if you say "two beers!," he has reason to give you a test.
But, if you say "no, I've had nothing" and he has you take a test anyway, could the fact that you said you had nothing be used against you?
