Matthew Protheroe, of Holborn Crescent in Brynteg, appeared at Wrexham Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
When he was stopped shortly thereafter, he gave a positive roadside alcohol sample which resulted in his arrest.
In custody, he gave an evidential sample which revealed 69 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath - the limit being 35.
Ms Carson told the court Protheroe had a previous drug-drive on his record from 2020.
District Judge Gwyn Jones told Protheroe he'd "fallen into the trap" many motorists have in the past - by thinking that they are "ok" to drive after even a small quantity of alcohol; but were in fact over the limit.
