The 42-year-old mother was breath-tested after she crashed into a parked car on Raphael Crescent about 12.20pm on Thursday. No one was injured.
The woman returned a blood alcohol reading of 0.326 per cent and is set to be charged with drink driving and traffic offences.
It is the second time this week a motorist has recorded a very high reading after crashing their car in Melbourne.
A Yarraville man blew 0.34 per cent after patrol officers discovered a Toyota Echo which had veered off the road West Melbourne. Police were unable to say if the 0.34 reading was a yearly record for Victoria, but said it was "up there".
Victoria Police is conducting its biggest ever road safety campaign, with 65 local and highway patrol operations.
Spokeswoman Natalie Webster said all officers, regardless of the nature of their work, would respond if they observed irresponsible behaviour on the roads.
"You can be caught anywhere at anytime," she said.
