The legal limit is 35 micrograms per 100 millilitres, meaning Patrulescu was nearly three times over the limit.
Magistrates fined him £1,900 and disqualified him from driving for 25 months, though the ban can be reduced by 25 weeks if he completes an approved drink-drive rehabilitation course by September 29, 2027.
He was ordered to pay a surcharge of £760 and costs of £85, with payments to be made in monthly instalments of £229. His guilty plea was taken into account.
