Because of many reasons, breathalyzers are several times more likely to record a falsely high than a falsely low BAC reading. This suggests that the innocent are several times more likely to be falsely convicted than the guilty are to go unpunished.

Corpus DWI attorney: What proportion of all motor vehicle crashes is caused by alcohol? It is impossible to say with certainty. Although alcohol is known to increase crash likelihood, its presence is neither necessary nor sufficient to cause a crash. Every crash in which a driver has a high BAC is not caused by alcohol. To learn the number of crashes caused by driving at various BACs, it would be necessary to find out how many trips that do not involve crashes are driven by people with positive BACs -- something that is only measured periodically in roadside surveys or special studies of motorists not involved in crashes.
