A US man dressed as a breathalyser has been arrested for drink-driving.

Student James Miller was stopped by police after he was spotted driving the wrong way down a one-way street in Oxford, Ohio without headlights.

Police found an open can of beer by the driver's seat, the remains of a case of beer on the passenger seat and more in the car boot.

When he was stopped, 18-year-old Miller stuffed chewing gum into his mouth and insisted he hadn't been drinking.

A blood alcohol test showed him to be at nearly twice the legal limit.

Miller's breathalyser costume featured a dial rating for drunkenness: Boring, Life of the Party, and Sotally Tober.

The student - who was also found to be carrying multiple fake IDs - was charged with multiple violations.
