I think this would make a funny scene in a sitcom:
Prosecutor: So Mr. Smugger, you admit that you were drinking on the night of the 8th.
thesmugger: No. On the night of the 8th I admitted I had been drinking before I was pulled over by an ambulance.
Prosecutor: Were you drinking on the night of the 8th?
thesmugger: No. I had a drink 10 days before that night, and in the effort of full disclosure, I decided to tell the officer I had indeed been drinking.
Prosecutor: Why would you admit to drinking for a drink you had 10 days before?
thesmugger: I was confused. I mean, I had just gotten pulled over by an ambulance.
Prosecutor: Fair enough. When they told you they were suspending your license and towing your car because you had been drinking, did you not think to explain to the cop that the drink was 10 days ago and that was unfair?
thesmugger: I did not think about that. I was confused and wasn't thinking clearly. It was probably from all the weed I was smoking.
Annnnnnd scene.
Some serious questions though for the OP:
Were you drinking before you got pulled over by an ambulance?
If so, when was your last drink before you got pulled over?
How many drinks did you have during that occasion?
What were you drinking?
Why would you admit to drinking if you had not been drinking?
If it had been 10 days since your last drink, why wouldn't you say that?
How old are you?
