Yes. If you denied doing a DUI test, can you go to jail

In most states, refusing to take a DUI test can result in criminal penalties, including jail time. This is because refusing a DUI test is considered an implied consent violation.

In some states, refusing a DUI test can also lead to criminal charges. These charges may include DUI per se, which is a DUI charge that is based on the driver's blood alcohol content (BAC) alone, regardless of whether the driver exhibited any signs of impairment.

Implied consent laws mean that when you get behind the wheel of a car, you are automatically giving your consent to take a chemical test of your blood alcohol content (BAC) if you are suspected of driving under the influence (DUI).
