I think that always was a law. I this is the important section...

(5) No person commits an offence under paragraph (1)(b) if

(a) they consumed alcohol after ceasing to operate the conveyance;

(b) after ceasing to operate the conveyance, they had no reasonable expectation that they would be required to provide a sample of breath or blood; and
I'm sure cops would try charging you and screwing up your whole life for no reason. But I don't think any right thinking judge would convict someone for legitimately drinking at home after not drinking and driving. That's crazy. But even putting the onus on someone to prove they were not drinking and driving is crazy. I really think the line about not knowing you were going to have to produce a breath sample is key.
