A man who drank an entire bottle of rum before getting behind the wheel was just one of the many residents convicted of drink/drug driving in the Warwick court this week.
Police were called to a Clifton home at about 8.30pm on December 17 last year, where a drunk
Brett Howard Bennett was trying to force his way into a house he thought was his own.
The 51-year-old soon realised his mistake and drove away, stopping only a short way down the road after almost hitting a parked car.
The Warwick Magistrates Court heard the man had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.223, four and a half times the legal limit.

For the rugby romantic the Queensland Reds are the most beguiling team in Australian rugby.
You might first think of brilliant sides of the 1970s and 80s with greats like the rampaging Mark Loane, the brilliant wing Brendan Moon and the late great Stan Pilecki. Pilecki was the first Queensland player to play 100 games for the team and his name adorns the annual medal for the best Reds player.
Queensland players were the backbone of the great Wallabies grand slam side of 1984, including mesmerising full back Roger Gould and bulldozing prop Andy McIntyre, while the team was captained by Queensland centre and stalwart Andrew Slack.
