Nope. It's up to *them* to prove you are. The breathalyser is fairly
strong evidence that you were, but that's all it is. It's tough to
convince a judge or jury against this evidence, but it can be done (and
has been done, and continues to be done).

Quick, throw out your address book! Delete your mail folders! Drop your
newspaper and magazine subscriptions! Go through your library and cut out
the authors' names!
