kk, I've thought of that, and tried it, sober. Could barely do it, and screwed up plenty.
I am ashamed to say that I was nabbed for drunk driving in '93 (part of what compelled me to change my life). I even knew one of the arresting officers. They started with the field sobriety tests and I just said, "I'm drunk. Take me." I turned around and put my hands behind my back. One of the cops said, "That's good enough." At the station, I blew a 0.26. And I had just started for the day . . .
For me the hardest thing to do is say the alphabet without singing it. I would do it at work too. Being of a 'mature' age I couldn't walk the 'heel to toe' thing either. One good thing...The card I use all the time is 'I'm just a poor old lady' and believe me it works.
It was easy SER. I just held a mirror up to the keyboard and typed it in looking at the mirror. It took a while though. My fingers kept covering up the letters.
If this is true Shots are on me at the next meeting!

Good joke, I love the personal touch! Have you ever practiced the alphabet backwards? I can't do it stone cold sober....
