If they're GDL and get pulled over randomly they wouldn't be required to do a Breathalyzer unless it warrants it.
As for the OP, I'm not going to make any judgments on him now. I'm not sure why he was pulled over, but he probably did not drink enough to for him to be charged. However, getting pulled over by an Ambulance is kind of odd... very odd.
I'm a firm believer of GDL or not, and you've had something to drink, do not drive. Legal or not, a few beers will impair your judgment.

When unqualified that is a very dangerous statement. With food? Without food? How many is a few? 2? 4? 6? For how long will it impair your judgment? What about someone that is 5' 100lbs vs someone 6' 200lbs? Will they be equally effected? How long between beers? What if it is shots of hard alcohol?
Could you imagine if law enforcement agencies and our lawmakers used the same sort of totally subjective, baseless methods to come up with drinking and driving laws?
It is one thing to not drink after consuming alcohol, ever. It is another to expect others to do the same and to make wild assumptions about what effect alcohol will have on them.
