The 26-year-old midfielder was stopped by police in Loughborough Road, West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire, in the early hours on 19 January.
Nottingham Magistrates' Court was told he had been returning to a restaurant to retrieve his phone.
Choudhury pleaded guilty to driving while double the legal alcohol limit.
He also admitted careless driving.
'Extremely embarrassed'
Defence lawyer Kally Sohata told the court Choudhury had shared a taxi home from a restaurant with a friend but had returned in his wife's car after realising he had left his phone behind.
