The following people pleaded guilty in Biloela Magistrates Court on June 8 to traffic offending.
Daniel Victor Brady, 44, was caught high-range drink-driving while operating a jetski on Callide Dam on March 21.
The court heard police were called to the dam during the afternoon and following a breath test, Brady returned a reading of .192.
Brady told police he had consumed 13 cans of beer before operating the jetski.
Solicitor Richard Parks said Brady was selling the jetski and had arranged for a potential buyer to come and look at it that morning.
But when that person did not show up, a frustrated Brady started drinking.
Mr Parks said when the potential buyer arrived in the afternoon, Brady “foolishly” took him for a ride on the jetski.
