In Japan, there is a no tolerance for drinking and driving (but in a cool twist as a passenger in a car/cab you can actually drink). I have well gotten used to that, and if I drive anywhere I'm fine without the booze. It's also made me a stern advocate of implementing that kind of rule in Canada. For obvious reasons it removes the subjectivity involved in the breathalyzer tests, and how one will be getting home after a night out. Walk, train it or budget for a cab as part of your night out. Or get a non-drinking friend to be your mascot/group dd (and buy them dinner)!

But in terms of the OPs question, it looks like legal advice is your best advice. Feel bad, learn from it and be glad you didn't cause anybody serious harm.
