I'd bet you are right, but that really isn't at issue here. The OP admitted to drinking. If he had lied, you can bet the breathalyzer would have come out, and you can bet he'd be looking at a criminal charge rather than a 30-day suspension. In neither case would the cop's word alone have been used.
