I can't attest for the rest of the world. But here in Arkansas, if you don't submit to a 'chemical analysis of body substances', then you get your license pulled for six months immediately. And then you and your attorney get to try to convince a judge that you weren't intoxicated, which won't be easy. There are ways to get out of a DWI. I've seen a couple of them myself. But refusing to cooperate is rarely successful around here. Most of the time DWI's get off on technicalities.
Now, from a police officer's point of view, go ahead and refuse. It saves me about an hour and a half of paperwork. ;)
Here's a related antidote I posted on my blog a while back.
