I think you protest too much.

You originally said you were both getting over the night before !! and that neither you or your colleague had enough mental capacity on the day to remember who was driving where and when.

Having drunk that much we'll bypass the obvious question whether or not your blood/alcohol levels would still have been over the limit just a relatively few hours later !! Just as well there wasn't an emergency that need the driver's full attention.

Go to court and try your best but I have to confess that it wouldn't need a judge with a MENSA IQ to smell a 'try-on' and, if he/she did come to that opinion there's a high probability they'll hit you with a much, much higher penalty and which your insurers may also not like too much either.

As a betting man I wouldn't back these slim odds; I'd take view that "the first loss is the best loss".

The thing is, the cps try to push the onus onto the registered keeper to tell them who was driving to make a conviction easier
