The Isle of Man Constabulary is promising swift justice to anyone caught drink driving over the festive season.
Officers have started their annual Christmas campaign to discourage people from driving whilst over the limit.
Police say those caught will be fast-tracked through the system and will appear in court the morning after they're charged - This could mean a night in the cells.
