Legal Question in Personal Injury in Virginia

I was charged with reckless driving/ failure to maintain control after swerving to miss an animal in the middle of the road. I have an excellent driving record. The problem is I also had two beers before the accident but I was not charged with anything alcohol related. What should I do?
