A few years back a US crew had pushed back, but were recalled to the gate for a breath test based on concerns raised by the security screeners. Both blew over limit.
At trial, the defense was that since the tug had not disconnected, technically it was the tug driver and not them operating the airplane.
Nice try.
At least one of them spent several years as a guest of the state.
