When you refuse the breathalyzer they can charge you with implied consent. Which is basically the same punishment as a DUI

In Ms, it's called "DUI Refusal" when you refuse to take a breathalyzer. Implied consent is just the concept that if you drive on public roads then the consent is implied that you will comply with said laws, i.e., submit to a field sobriety and/or breathalyzer.

I have a family member who is a lawyer and he has told friends and family that even if they aren't drunk to ALWAYS refuse a breathalyzer test. So apparently it's better to be taken in for refusing one in Mississippi than taking one with the risk of getting a DUI.
