you consumed any alcohol today no no all right the situation grew more tense as Jessica agreed to a field sobriety test this was a crucial moment where the officer suspicions would soon be confirmed however Jessica's poor performance left no doubt about her condition leading to an inevitable outcome on a scale of zero being 0 to 10 10 being severely intoxicated to zero being you haven't had a lick of alcohol how intoxicated do you think you are one one so you have consumed something no you asked what do you want to tell you zero well zero is completely sober 10 is severely intoxicated zero
