About five drinks? Well, that's a different matter, bro. As I said earlier, if they smelled alcohol on you, that's one thing. However, I hope you didn't admit that you've been drinking. Otherwise, you're screwed.

Unless you were in your driveway, you can claim to have never driven the vehicle. If you were parked near an establishment, they will say that you had to have been driving in order to get there. Hence, DUI. Sure, a good lawyer will say that if the cops did not see you driving the vehicle then they can't necessarily charge you with DUI. However, it's a slim chance of getting off on that reason. Don't try to say that your girl was driving and that you two changed seats, leaving you become the driver, because they will say that they were able to prevent a DUI from occurring. However and again, your lawyer can claim that you had not committed a DUI since you never drove the vehicle yet.

Get an attorney because your case can be easily won. In order for a DWI to stick in court, the cop has to show proof that you were driving, via the dash cam. If the dash cam shows you just sitting in your car, then your attorney will just file a motion to supress that evidence, which HAS to be granted by the judge. Now if you sumbitted to a breathalyzer then you are fucked. Never take a breathalyzer or field sobriety test, just tell them to take you to jail and book you on suspicion of DWI.

I say that because I got into an accident after drinking and it was raining. The dash cam showed the cop pulling up behind me, arresting me on suspicion, and that's it. My attorney supressed the video, the case was dismissed on lack of evidence because I refused the breathalyzer and sobriety test. It cost me 4 grand, but a DWI ends up costing you between 10 and 20 grand after fines, classes, license reinstatement, insurance increase, etc.

u refuse a breathalyzer in ny and u automatically lose your license for a year! that is a fact!

Loosing your license for a year is better then having a DUI on file though.

Also if by slim chance you are diebetic you maybe able to get off because of that. Bllood sugar levels read the same as Alcohol levels. Thats how alot of DUI's are beaten.

Also, it helps to have a Firefighter badge on your license plate
