Matthew Dadd, aged 36, drove a Skoda Octavia on Lightmoor Road in Telford on November 8 this year.
A breath test found that Dadd had 102 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit in England and Wales is 35mcg per 100ml.
Dadd, of Chiltern Gardens, Dawley, Telford, pleaded guilty at Telford Magistrates Court to driving with alcohol above the legal specified limit.
Magistrates banned Dadd from driving for 23 months and ordered him to do 150 hours of unpaid work as part of a 12-month community order.
Dadd was also ordered to pay £85 in prosecution costs and a £114 victim surcharge, leaving him with a legal bill of £199 which he will pay off at the rate of £20 per month.
