Of the 33 drink drivers caught, nine had zero Blood Alcohol Content licence conditions and 10 had previous convictions for the offence.
Police say the drink-driving blitz confirmed repeat offenders were a problem on Canberra's roads.
In one incident, a 26-year-old man, with vomit covering his pants was found in the driver's seat of a Mitsubishi sedan which had run off Belconnen Way in Macquarie at about 11.20pm last Friday. He later returned a reading of 0.165 at the Belconnen Police Station, where he was issued with an Immediate Suspension Notice.
At about 12.55pm last Sunday, police saw a Ford Focus driving toward them with its headlights off. When police visited the registered owner's address, they saw two people run from the same car into a house. The 25-year-old driver recorded a reading of 0.104 and consequently lost six demerit points and was fined $1811 for speeding.
Police say they will continue to use a range of strategies to catch drink-drivers.
