Actually, if you feel your cavities or dentures have resulted in an
overstatement of your blood alcohol content, you should insist on
the more accurate blood test.  A statement by your dentist that you
have cavities might ellicit more laughter than understanding.  Incidently,
there are other things which can cause breath analyzers to misperform 
(e.g., breath fresheners), so insisting on a blood test might
be a good idea even if you don't wear dentures.  Of course, there's always
the chance you're so drunk you don't realize how drunk you are, and the
blood test will only serve to nail you to the wall.

But then, if you're driving drunk, I hope they DO nail you to the wall
(before you plaster me to the sidewalk).
