Their arrests happened as part of Operation Limit, a nationwide campaign to tackle drink and drug-driving which ran from Friday 1 December to Monday 1 January.
In keeping with previous campaigns, Sussex Police said that it identify those convicted of these offences to help raise awareness of the campaign and to highlight the consequences as a deterrent to others to prevent them committing the same offences.
Superintendent Rachel Glenton, head of the Roads Policing Unit, said: “Those who commit these offences risk punishments which include being disqualified from driving, heavy fines, and even the risk of going to prison.
“These are nothing compared to the risk they pose of causing serious harm or even the death of themselves or other road users.
“Drink or drug driving is one of the main causes of people being killed or seriously injured on our roads.
“That is why we continue to urge people to take steps to prevent drink and drug-driving, such as persuading loved ones not to drive, and taking sensible steps such as pre-booking taxis or walking home.
“Our officers are determined to catch offenders to help keep our roads safe.”
