What is your question? You want to know "because I never specified when I drank, can the suspension be overturned?".

The answer is no. The Constable likely smelled alcohol on your breath. That alone is all that is needed to issue the 30 day suspension. The rules are VERY clear. If you are a new driver under the GDL program, DON'T DRINK ANYTHING if you are going to be driving AT ALL. You are not an experienced enough driver, nor an experienced drinker, and any amount of alcohol in this circumstance is dangerous.

The EMS guy followed you because he thought you were intoxicated. His statement, along with police observations would have likely been enough grounds to demand a breath sample road side, which could have lead to a full blown impaired charge. Instead, you get a little 30 day suspension. Hopefully you don't repeat this.

Get yourself a bus-pass for the 30 days, and don't even think about driving!
