Here’s a hypothetical: You’re reading this “Home & Garden” issue of My City 1 and are inspired to run to your local nursery to grab some broccoli, kale and arugula 2 plants and get an early start on your garden. While enjoying this magazine in the early afternoon, you decide to have one too many glasses of Chardonnay. You then get into your car, head off on your errand and are subsequently stopped on the road by law enforcement 3. Suspecting that you might be driving under the influence, the officer asks you to step out of your vehicle and blow into a breath-testing device. What do you do?
