Jerry Hrechka I have diabetes. With this disease you can get a reaction called "Fruity Breath" - which smells like alcohol. Never had a DUI, but I was once arrested for it. I demanded a blood test since a Breathalyzer shows you as having a high alcohol level when a diabetic has a high Ketone (chemically similar to alcohol) level. Big expensive hassle but I was acquited. I now carry this card (Given to me by my doctor):
So, definitely, if innocent - demand a blood test. You might be an undiagnosed diabetic.
