Actually the police wouldn't administer a breathalyzer against anybody's will unless they had probable cause to believe that the person committed a crime involving alcohol.

Since he's not driving, no implied consent.

But what they could do is testify whether they smelled alcohol on his breath or he was glassy eyed etc. or that they asked him to take a breathalyzer and he refused. Etc. Deadly stuff even if you're not drunk enough to break the law.
