I agree with never taking to cops. But if a cop says you’re doing a sobriety test, you don’t have a choice. Either do it or get suspended for a year. And they don’t need a reason, all they have to do is say you were swerving or you smell like alcohol

Not correct. Field sobriety tests are ‘voluntary’ in all states in the US, although refusing to take one may be used as evidence against you in a trial, depending on the state. Likewise, you can refuse breathalyzer tests, although that may carry significant civil penalties.
Did you even read my comment. I literally said refusing to do a test gets your license suspended for a year in most states. If you don’t do the sobriety test, the cop will most certainly ask you to do a chemical test, breath or blood, and refusing will get you a suspension.
How do you suppose we keep drunk idiots off the road? I feel like we’re too soft about it tbh. I feel like being caught driving drunk should come with mandatory jail time tbh.

The land of the free, everyone.
I prefer this over having drunk idiots all over the road tbh.
Those are not the only two options. I also prefer this to getting kicked in the nuts, but there are a million better options.
