What happens if you get pulled over for drunk driving?

I’ve been watching a lot of campy, 80s cop shows and recently found an episode featuring drunk driving. In it, the officer flashes a flight and asks the guy to recite the alphabet forwards…then backward. What really happens when you get pulled over for drunk driving?
