In defence, Ed Middleton said his client knows he made a mistake and 'was an error of judgement'.
Hazell was disqualified from driving for 36 months, which will be reduced by 36 weeks if he successfully completes a drink-drive rehabilitation course.
Magistrates also fined him £923 and told him to pay court costs of £135 and a government victim surcharge of £369 respectively.
