If you're asked to take a test for blood alcohol content after you have been found driving, it's called the Implied Consent Law. If you read the application for a driver's license carefully, you'll see it includes language that provides when you drive a car on public roads in that state, you give your consent in advance to a test of your breath or blood for alcohol content if so requested. Your consent is implied in advance. If you refuse, your driver's license will likely be suspended or revoked.
