Pleading guilty to something you did is taking responsibility. You were drinking, operated a vehicle and had readings over .08 %. I can appreciate people want to have a lawyer and have the best possible outcome, but how the hell is that not attempting to avoid the responsibility and the consequences for what you did. I don't mean when you ask a lawyer to resolve the matter, but when one looks for a loophole "set it for trial, I can't lose my license" when they actually committed the conduct they're accused of.
I give a lot of credit to those people who show up on the first appearance and say yes I did it, I accept it. You don't see that very often these days.
