Five "bloody idiots" were arrested for drink-driving in Queenstown at the weekend, Sergeant Brian Cameron said.
"It's very disappointing that despite all the advertising and society's abhorrence of the drink-driving culture, it seems the message isn't getting through to the bloody idiots who do it."
A 19-year-old Queenstown man allegedly recorded 685mcg on Church St at 4am on Saturday.
A 26-year-old Irishman living in Queenstown allegedly recorded 796mcg on Frankton Rd at 2am yesterday.
A 29-year-old Christchurch man was stopped on William St at 3am.
A blood sample was taken for analysis.
Sgt Cameron said the man called his friend to give him a ride but she was also processed for drink-driving when she picked him up.
The 19-year-old, from Queenstown, allegedly recorded 494mcg at 4.20am.
A 19-year-old Wanaka man allegedly recorded 524mcg on Isle St at 5.15am yesterday.
