There should be ZERO toleramce for driving with alcohol in system. Having a static limit is not practical because a full blown alcoholic can probably down a 6-pack in an hour and be fine, whereas a lightweight like me can get a decent buzz with 2 beers.

A a follow up to my earlier post today about the new traffic laws going into effect tomorrow, especially the low limits on a DUI blow (.5) does anybody know what they do in CR if you refuse to blow?

In my state the law allows the police to take you to a hospital for a forced blood draw, but I have learned alot of hospitals tell the police "you do it", they don't want a lawsuit for a battery from non-consentual touching.

Baseball Hall of Fame catcher Carlton Fisk got pinched two days ago, asleep in his truck in a ditch with an open bottle. Refused to blow. Took him to the hospital. They wouldn't do it.

So, seeing how easy it is to get to a .5, that's like 3-4 beers in an hour or so for most bodies, what are the consequences of refusing to blow in CR?
