As far as the morning after - if that level of alcohol affects your driving just after drinking it then the same level must as well the day after.

If you need to drive in the morning don't drink too much in the evening before.

I have no problem with the random breath test, but the lowering of the level dose bother me, and should bother lots of others how many times do you have a night out but have to work in the morning. People who work long or stupid houres still need a life.

At the expense of somebody elses life you will take if you are still under the influence ?

If alchohol is so important I would forget the drink drive limits and contact Alchoholics Anonymous

Hardly think I'm sanctimonious on this issue, quite simply I don't drink and drive.

I think your'e the one getting confused. If you don't drink and drive why are you bothered about any law that reduces the amount of alchohol in the blood while driving

Feel free to climb on the soapbox

I will just quote myself on this subject.

It does not matter how long it is since you had a drink. If you are over the limit its not safe to drive. Thats why there is a limit and why people get done the morning after.

crabby isnt saying its ok to drink drive his complaint is that they are going to reduce the legal limit which is fine as it is and dosnt need changing.The threads been diverted by the im holyier than though brigade to make it look like anyone who drives after a pint is a drunk driver which is not the case

i took my car out last night , i got very drunk , i got a taxi home ,if i had have only had 1 pint i would have driven my car home because not only would i have been sober but i would have been legaly entitled to do so

if you think 1 pint is too much to drink then what else would you like to see stopped after 1 pint.

should we ban crossing a road after drinking a pint because according to you a person isnt in control of themselves after 1 pint , should it be illigal to have sex with somone who has drank 1 pint because they dont know what they are doing because of teh high level of alchol in 1 pint ?

not so long ago the legal level was 2 pints which if i am honest is hitting dodgy ground for some people who cant handle alchol but they did a lot tests and research which showed that 1 pint is ok so no matter how right you think you are there is a lot of research by people who actualy know what they are talking about that shows you are wrong
