I'm having a hard time with the notion that a normal sized man could eat enough trifle to get drunk. Let's see--at 18% alcohol by volume for sherry, that's 3 oz of sherry for one absolute ounce of alcohol. An average man needs 3-4 absolute ounces in the first hour, and 1-2 more for each additional hour, to blow a 0.08 on the breathalizer. That would be over 1 cup of sherry in your portion of trifle--did you eat it with a straw?
I presume you're hiring a lawyer, that's recommended for drunk-driving offenses. Try to find one who's up on all of the ways a breathalyzer can be inaccurate (different diets, cold remedies, or just plain malfunction). Or did they determine you were drunk in some other way, like field sobriety or just not liking your face? You may have a shot at challenging this one successfully.

Wow. That's so stupid of the cops. (Unless you were doing something stupid) Trifle is nothing. Unless you ate the whole dammed thing. We get tourists here who wine taste and drive all over the place and they never get caught. People can get away with 2 bottles of wine at dinner! A trifle is what you got caught on?? That's nuts.
(And yes, I do know that drinking and driving is bad, but it was a freakin' dessert!)

It may be a pudding but if it's got that much alcohol in it - then it might as well be a drink. However it was careless of your wife not to warn you how much alcohol was in it - it's unusal for a trifle to be that intoxicating. Bad luck

We all know that's bollocks and if you have been done for drink driving you deserve to have the book thrown at you.
In my opinion anyone drunk behind the wheel is putting peoples lives at risk and does not deserve a license.
There is far too much misery caused on the roads by drunk driving.

I think your wife is trying to tell you some thing!
I'd check any life insurance policies you have!
