No. However, in order for the test results to be admissible in court, the individual must have been observed, and not had an opportunity to drink alcohol since the accident.

This makes sense when you consider that any elapsed time more than about 1/2 hour from the time drinking ceased would cause the BAC to drop, and thus benefit the person being tested. If testing occurred before the half hour was up, the BAC could continue to rise after the test. Therefore the lower results at the time of the test would still benefit the drinker.
