Two offences that carry a mandatory ban, like drink driving, within a ten year period is considered so serious that the law imposes a minimum 3 year disqualification from driving and up to 6 months in prison. A third offence within that period is even more serious. Bans of 5 years and longer are regularly handed out to 3rd time offenders.

It is no surpise that last time the Court warned you that a third offence would carry the risk of prison. The Court are almost certain to consider this as an option.

I would strongly recommend that you prepare your case properly before going to Court, take time to speak to your solicitor of choice, ask him to look at the evidence with a fine toothcomb and make sure that the statutory procedures were followed at the police station. If there is o way of defending the allegation then an experienced drink driving solicitor can advise you about how to prepare your mitigation before you go to court and present your mitigation for you to help reduce the length of ban and likelihood of a prison sentence.
