Hide AdPam Smith, prosecuting, said police stopped Woodies on October 25, at 1.10am, after seeing him drive a Vauxhall Golf on Penrith Avenue, Cleveleys.
A breath test showed 52 microgrammes of alcohol – 35 is the limit.
Gerry Coyle, defending, said his client had been working until 10pm. He then got a call asking him to pop into a party where he drank two or three shandies.
He said it was a devastating mistake because Woodies had to take customers cars to and from his garage.
