But AFAIK, there is no "implied consent" law to submit to a BAC or other sobriety test unless you ARE driving. If you're NOT driving, this would make proof of "intoxicated carry" more difficult for LEOs contemplating your arrest unless you're downright drunk - and behaving that way.

SO, you are better to not drink while carrying as the determination is left up to the individual officer's discretion, and if you have not been drinking there is less question about your being possibly intoxicated. The exact same advice goes for getting behind the wheel of a motor vehicle.

Don't drink and drive.
