In any criminal proceeding, you need an attorney to protect your rights. Do not discuss you case with anyone without an attorney.

With a zero blood alcohol level and no blood (and I assume no urine) to test for drugs, it would be nearly impossible for them to prosecute you.

To protect yourself, it may be worth sitting down with a good local criminal defense attorney to discuss things in more depth. If no charges are filed, you can also disuss a petition for factual innocence with your lawyer to get even the arrest off your record.
