Obviously, I've no way of knowing why you were stopped.......

Just by way of casting at least a glance in the direction of evidence-based policy making, is there any data to be had on excess accidents involving drivers in the range 50-80mg/100ml? I don't know whether a reduction from 80 to 50 (or whatever) is a good idea or not, but it strikes me that none of the great and good either asking or answering questions on the Scottish change have provided anything except background chatter. Nothinbg new there, of course.

Might be as well to read the reviews before buying this product:
Bought for use as a tester for mornings after, even relied on it once. However brought it to a party/BBQ where everyone was off their face. Tested around 15 people and not a single person registered above the legal limit according to this. Complete waste of time and money. It went straight on the BBQ.
What I'm wondering is, after it "went straight on the BBQ", did it endow the 'burgers with a certain - piquancy - a subtle nuance of exotic flavours....?

Get a good lot of booze down you, and then the alcohol is in your stomach. Stomachs don't pass alcohol into your blood very well, but give it quite a while and it'll be in your colon. If you've been eating, the alcohol takes even longer to get to your colon.
Once there, it gets absorbed quite quickly, but it depends on your weight, your age, your race, and your sex, how quickly this happens. Once in your blood stream, your liver will get rid of it, but it depends on how good your liver is how fast it does this.
You need to leave it an hour or two - even more - before you get a good worthwhile result from a test. I know a chap - no names no pack drill - goes down the pub, drinks three (normal strength) beers in about an hour, and then drives home. He's fine I'm sure, but he only drives a couple of miles. Test him as he leaves and he'd be fine. Test him a hour after he gets home, and he'd test positive.
I believe (and this is not from personal experience! ) that if you fail the breath test at the roadside, you will be arrested and taken to the police station, where they will make you wait a certain period of time and then repeat the breath test. I don't know if that's the current procedure, nor if it helps.

I bought a pint last night from my local Xmas market and the chap serving me said "you're not driving after are you?" (I wasn't) and was glad as it was something like 6·5%! I felt well over the limit.
