Today, I got pulled over. Suspicious that I'd been drinking, the police officer made me walk a straight line and recite the alphabet. I failed both. I was completely sober. FML

I probably couldn't recite the alphabet backwards sober either! it's ridiculous for it to be a way to "tell" if you're drunk

You realize you can request a breathalyzer, right?

That happened to me. I ended up just getting a turn violation ticket though

What happens if you fail one but not the other? I'm hard of hearing which affects my balance.

It is possible for people who are completely trashed to still pass. With a family of cops with endless stories, they tell me that some people practice. It's ok OP. driving is exhausting and I feel for ya. FYL

OK I can understand the walking the straight line because some people have horrible balance to begin with but really? the alphabet? did you sleep through all of kindergarten?

You should have asked for a breathalyzer or even a blood test if they were that adamant about arresting you. Most of the time with a sobriety test they ask you to recite the alphabet backwards and I can't even do that sober.
