If you're over .1% and get an actual DWI, you are totally and completely f'ed. You'd need to take a second mortgage on your house to pay all the fees involved and the insurance company will send you to the assigned risk pool in a NY minute.

This is correct.
In CT if you get pulled over for a DUI you have two options neither are good.
If you think you are on the edge you refuse the field tests and get a blood test. This takes a few hours so in theory if your liver works you might be good. Your going to jail for the night but a good attorney will correct it in short order as long as you are below .08.
If OTOH you know your totally drunk and screwed refuse and than STFU and sit tight, your first call after you get out of jail is to a DUI attorney. You will be screwed but its cheaper than an actual DUI/DWI.
Only time you blow for a cop or walk a line is if you know 110% you are sober.
