I think that rather than use a breathalizer (which are proven to be inaccurate in the measure of intoxication) we should use some kind of test of reflex and reaction time... This would not only save the sober and punish the drunk, but would also punish those too slow/stupid/stoned/whatever to be driving as well.

I'm not sure where you saw that breathalizers are not acurate. I'm sure there are some that haven't been certified but most are calibrated and certified. Otherwise, they can't be used in court. Also, you can always request a blood test.
To me it doesn't matter if you're out of your gourd or just over the legal linit - you're over, end of story. I've seen too much evidence of people that were just over the limit and how well they think they can drive. Most do much worse they they think.
The cop probably had more reasons to pull you over than going 5 miles over the limit. You'll never know what caught his attention, but they are trained to look for things.
I could go on. The point is, just obey the drinking laws. They are there to protect you and everyone else.
