The court heard that he was stopped at a vehicle checkpoint on the Derrymacash Road.
Police noticed the smell of intoxicating liquor from McCorry’s breath.
He failed a preliminary breath test and an evidential test gave a reading of 48.
A solicitor representing the defendant said he had shared a bottle of wine with his wife when his son wanted to go to a local football club and he took him.
