If they didn't breathalise you, or take a test, fill out the back of the form and contest it. It'll go to court and get thrown out for no evidence!

Sometimes drunkenness can be very subjective. If you had not been drinking and if you were conducting yourself in a sober and respectable manner, then by all means challenge the fine. If you had enjoyed a few drinks and perhaps remonstrated with the officer, then I can't see much point in taking matters further, as you would find it very difficult to argue your case, unless you had some card up your sleeve which you haven't mentioned, such as a medical condition which might lead to behaviour subject to misinterpretation by the police. Pay up and put it down to experience?

Accept that you probably were and that the officer who issued it didn't just pick on you because they had nothing better to do.
or
Go not guilty and hope that there wasn't a video evidence gathering team about. You would look even more stupid then.

Presumably you signed this fixed penalty notice when it was issued to you.
You accepted the fine at the time.
Now you are going to have to pay up.

Challenge it !. The onus is on them to prove it. Get a blood test ASAP, from that they can back - predict your alcohol level. Your GP will help but you will have to pay. Don't delay.

Pay up. If you had an issue with it you should have said so at the time...or were you too drunk?!!

You should appeal it. If you've got a good case, you could have it quashed. If you DONT have a good case, it wouldn't hurt to try. Its free to appeal.

Plead not guilt, go to the court and contest it or pay it. If you do pay it, you will have it in your record.

You may want to consult a barrister.
