Police were left shocked after a Sunday swill saw a driver caught at more than quadruple the legal alcohol limit.
Nunawading Highway Patrol members were patrolling the Mitcham area when a Toyota Yaris drove past them on Whitehorse Road about 12pm.
Officers were stunned to watch the 24-year-old man driving with one hand on the steering wheel and the other tipping back a bottle of wine.
The Ashburton man was intercepted nearby on Cochrane Street where he underwent a breath test, returning an alleged reading of .234.
His vehicle was impounded, and licence immediately suspended.
He can also expect to face court where he will face drink driving charges.
