It is my first offense of any kind and I was fully cooperative, and admitted I had had a few drinks.

I would seek out legal help as soon as possible. You mentioned that you stated that you "had a few drinks" but were there independent tests administered? Field sobriety tests? Did you blow in to a breathalyzer? This information is important. Seek legal help in sorting it out.
