The Five Field Sobriety Tests
"A horizontal gaze nystagmus test. The driver is asked to follow the lighted red tip of a pen with his eyes, without moving his head. If a driver has been drinking his eyes will jerk, instead of following the light smoothly.
The nine steps test. The driver must walk a straight line heel-to-toe for nine steps, make a tight turn, and walk back nine steps.
Balancing on one leg. The driver stands on one foot for about 30 seconds.
Touching the nose. With hands at his side, the driver is asked to close his eyes, lean his head back, and touch his nose with the tip of each finger.
Reciting the alphabet. "

Drunken pilots lose appeals court case
"Two pilots who were drunk in the cockpit have lost an appeals court bid to overturn their convictions and prison sentences. The pair were about to fly an America West plane from Miami to Phoenix back in 2002. But an airport screener smelled alcohol on their breath, and as the jet was being towed from the gate, police came out and ordered it brought back. Testimony at their trial showed the pair spent six hours at a sports bar, consuming 14 glasses of beer before leaving less than six hours before takeoff. Tests later showed them still above Florida's legal limit for drunken driving."
