Did they actually test your alcohol levels? It is all well and good to accuse you of being drunk but were you? Even then

My husband thinks I had a breakdown but the doctor disgareed and said, shes just reacting badly to a situation, something that she does a lot of!

That phrase above is very telling. You sound like you need a different lawyer and a different GP. Even if you are given a criminal record you can appeal it. And if you are suffering from mental health issues, that would have to be taken into consideration in terms of what sentence/ punishment you are given.

Unfortunately, with all things in life there are consequences, but a good lawyer should be able to question the irregularities in the report of the first nurse. If you are in the throws of an emotional break it is very scary and I have had friends who have a completely different memory of what is happening to them because of the heightened sensitivity to their surroundings.

GP is not a psychiatrist first of all. And it sounds llike you do need an advocate either a legal or mental health advocate. I do not think that one pleads guilty to anything unless you fully understand the consequences of a criminal record. For example is this to get you a lenient sentence.........
does your husband understand if you cannot right now.

The hardest thing is convincing people to take the time to explain things to lay people when they have already made up their mind. I do not think that people are out to get you. But if you are not convinced of your worth it makes it that much harder to convince others.

If your husband agrees something is off, get a second opinion- legal and medical.

Hugs. And maybe find out about the services of pathfinders.
