Being arrested, does mean you will have to go to court and fight the case, but it is far from a conviction for drunk driving. The Commonwealth must convince either a judge or jury that alcohol diminished your ability to drive safely, and they must prove this beyond a reasonable doubt. The jury is told that it is not illegal to consume alcohol and drive, but that is job is to decide whether the alcohol impacted your ability to drive.
You will have the opportunity to decide if you would rather have a jury or bench trial. There are pros and cons to each, but it is best to talk to an experienced trial lawyer to help you decide what the best decision will be.
