Do we really know he was drunk. Is it possible he could not have been intoxicated.

This is a good point. My brother-in-law got a DUI and would have probably not been over the legal limit if he had taken the breathalizer. He had a beer with friends at a bar, left the bar and a cop followed him from the bar, slid on ice and wrecked his truck. Because he was told once that they will not get you for DUI if you refuse the test, he refused........and promptly got hauled off to jail. I guess in his state not taking it was an admission of guilt. He wishes he had taken it because he had not had enough to be over the legal limit.
He got his liscence taken away for 2 years and his wife reminded him of his mistake every time she had to take him somewhere!
As someone pointed out,Phelps is heading to a college town where there will be lots of opportunities to drink and drive. This may make him think twice about that and who knows, maybe people who know him will think twice too.
