Staff at three unnamed pubs in Denbighshire were given on the spot fines by police for serving drinks to drunken customers, reports The Publican.
The crackdown was part of Operation Uncork, in which plain clothes officers from North Wales Police and Denbighshire Council licensing officers visited pubs during a four-week period over the summer.
Also, underage test purchasers, aged 14-16, were sold alcohol on 22 occasions giving a failure rate of 58 per cent among the 11 pubs and 27 off licences visited as part of the crackdown, reports the trade paper.
