Haven't you posted several variations of this same questions. Bottom line. Tell tell the truth. You are not likely to get into that much trouble for drunk talk. Tell the judge the truth.
Re: statement to the cops
In my experience the threat of false reports is just that, a threat. If you go to the Preliminary Hearing and testify truthfully it is unlikely that you will be charged. Even if you are, it is unlikely that the District Attorney or Assistant D.A. will prosecute, and even in the unlikely event that the police charge you, and the D.A. does decide to go forward, it is unlikely that the case would be held for court. Finally, in the unlikely event that everything goes wrong and you end up getting held for court, since you don't have any record, you would be A.R.D. eligible. Mr. Jackson is right in his answer, just tell the truth.
