How do the police know for a fact that they are drunk? Are they coercing people to take a breathalizer? Are people who are not driving threatened with loss of liscense if they don't submit to a breathalizer?

No breathalyzer needed for PI charge, just the opinion of the arresting officer.

Actually I was told by someone that got busted in the scam that more than 3 or more beers was suppose to be the way they knew. Of course, I was on beer 5 or 6 when I was told this so I may not remember the details correctly.

There is no objective standard for public intoxication as there is for DWI; the sole arbiter of "drunk" is the arresting officer.
