ph-sbe makes some valid points but

"I guess that all I'm saying here is: give the man the benefit of the doubt until proven guilty, and don't hang him out to dry as if he was sentenced to life in prison already. "

might well be the case in the US but in Norway (and other places) that's not how it works - fail the Breathalyzer and you are effectively convicted - it's only the sentence to be decided - much like running a red light in small-town Arkansas

As ever it's the individuals responsibility to know and obey the law WHEREVER they are, - home or abroad
