Gotta agree with Don here. Someone under the influence of alcohol is not rational, and there's no telling how he'll react to threats & sudden demands to get out of the car because he appears to be drunk. Best to pull the pee card, or the I'm gonna throw up card. I've found the Throw Up card to work best, because nobody wants to clean up puke out of their car.
