Your instincts are not your best friend when it comes to drinking and driving. Tolerance or how you feel after a few drinks is not an accurate reflection of how your body is responding to alcohol. Everyone tolerates alcohol differently. But there is no arguing chemistry, when someone's blood alcohol concentration is over the legal limit of .08.

Take a moment and see what we mean by taking this interactive 'sobriety' test. You are about to view video clips of actual police stops and roadside field sobriety tests. Some of the people shown in these clips are legally drunk while others tested well below the legal limit. Some people who appear to be under the influence of alcohol may not be, and their behavior could be in response to a stressful situation. View the clips and based on what you see, try to determine whether the person is legally drunk or not. Once you've entered your responses, click to the next page for actual results.
Remember - looks can be deceiving.
