If you're pulled over for DWI, stay calm and don't resist. Keep your emotions in check, and be cooperative.
Don't Argue or Resist Arrest
Getting questioned by the police is scary. And if the officer asks if you are under the influence, your first impulse might be to argue or create confrontation. Instead, wait for them to speak. Don't interrupt, and only speak when they ask you a questions.
It's very important for you to remember that if the officer says your breath smells like alcohol, you'll most likely be arrested. Again, do not resist. The side of the road isn't the spot to fight a DWI charge. That time will come as I build out your case.

Remember You Have the Right to Remain Silent
But also remember that you have the right to remain silent. You don't have to answer any questions until you call me. And especially don't admit to drinking. Follow his or her other instructions, like stepping out of the vehicle and handing over your license and registration.
If you stay calm, comply with the officer's instructions - even if that includes an arrest - and avoid admitting to anything, your chances of staying out of jail and steering clear from a DWI conviction increase dramatically.
