The male driver was unlicensed and has had his car impounded.
"Driving while alcohol-impaired is a silly thing to do," Sergeant Shane Allgood said.
"We're taking a zero-tolerance approach to that sort of behaviour. It's unacceptable.
"Just think about it: it can affect your ability to get to work - or get the kids to school or take them to other children's activities.
"It can affect innocent people - including your family."
Sergeant Allgood said police were planning a blitz on drink driving across the region.
