She’s no tee-totalor.

An “incoherent” driver was allegedly found surrounded by empty Fireball whiskey bottles after she crashed her car onto a Florida golf course, authorities said.

Erika Mayer, 34, is accused of drunkenly driving her red Hyundai onto the Streamsong Golf Resort near Bowling Green last Thursday night.

When Polk County Sheriff’s deputies found her sitting near the car shortly after she crashed, Mayer had allegedly tried to claim she hadn’t consumed any booze.

Deputies, however, noted she was “incoherent, unbalanced and had slurred speech” — and reeked of alcohol.

A search of her car uncovered a slew of empty bottles, including 21 open mini-bottles of Fireball whiskey and two finished bottles of 99 Brand liqueurs.

An unopened 10-pack of Fireball was also stashed in the vehicle, deputies said.

She then allegedly refused to participate in field sobriety tests, arguing that she had been told by friends and social media that it was a bad idea to do them.

Mayer was arrested and charged with DUI, DUI with property damage and refusing a DUI test.
