Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

public intoxication

hello how are you today? I was arrested for public intoxication.... I was not intoxicated the officers did not give me any field test or test my bac at all.... I am considering getting a lawer and going to court so that this charge does not go onto my record... Do you think that since there is no proof of me being intoxicated nor was I a hazard to anyone or myself is are my chances good at getting this charge dropped?
