You will probably get a probation violation. You can have a hearing or admit. If you blew a .05, a hearing will probably make your situation worse. Better to admit, with recovery comes a relapse once in awhile. It depends on your Judge whether they will put you in jail for a few days (typical sentence) or extend your probation, or perhaps something else. If you do it again, the consequences will be much worse.

They could. The typical conditions of probation in Michigan are that you not consume alcohol during your term of probation. Most probation officers are willing to work with a person who seems to be having problems working through an addiction issue and jail is a last resort.

That is up to the probation agent. Maybe they will want to put you in a residential treatment program.

Call my office, it depends on the terms of your probation bit, if they are normal you are on probation because you have promised not to drink at all during your probation. You have violated, and could be called before your next report date. You need an attorney.

No. You are still entitled to a hearing.
