You should clarify your answer. I assume you meant to ask "Does a drunk driver have to submit a blood sample?"

To my knowledge, all states have implied consent. That means that by driving you automatically give consent to submit to blood alcohol testing. The police will not hold a gun to your head until you submit, but if you refuse, your penalties are much higher. Also, you can submit a breath sample too. It doesn't have to be blood. In the 50 or so DUI's I've written, I don't think I've ever had to use blood. They either sumit a breath sample or refuse altogether.

In drunken driving cases the police must conduct what type of test on suspects?

In drunken driving cases, police typically conduct a breathalyzer test to measure the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of the suspect. This test is often administered at the scene or at a police station and provides a quick assessment of impairment. Additionally, officers may also use field sobriety tests to evaluate a driver's physical and cognitive abilities. In some cases, blood tests may be used for more accurate BAC measurement, especially if the suspect is unable to provide a breath sample.
