Not a fan of irony, then? Or just keen to show how jolly bombastic

It was *I* who was pointing out the irony to....
Shame when you have to point it out rather than just use it and sit back with
a smug grin.
Shame when people can't just accept it for what it is.
...oh, **** it - life's too short
Agreed!

Does the waitress always cum when you push your horn.
When I'm that drunk, pushing it is all I can manage.
Alcohol drinking scum!!!

Now, this is the thing. If I was drinking alcohol and not driving,
presumably you wouldn't have a problem? By the same token, if I was driving
without having drink taken, again no problem, yes? Similarly, if I was
driving after drinking, but not enough to put me over the current -
ridiculously low - limit, this would be okay?
But one little sniff over? Heh. Figures from the States reckon there's one
fatality for every 600,000 miles driven while over the limit. That gives me
a bit of leeway.

It could be argued the limit is ridiculously high. The '92 T&WA limit is
the same as the road.
The BR Board adopted the medical zero (30mg) for their safety critical
staff.
Without becoming a drink drive bore, you either drink, or you drive. You
don't do both. I speak as a train driver and the embarrasing uncle at
/whatever/ wedding.
Personally I don't give a toss.
Just hope all understand an 'average' pint of beer takes 2.5 hours to be
assimilated, (the usual specs say 1 hour per unit for 1/2 pint of 3%
Heineken). So the sensible *8* pint night on Guiness/Stella/Directors
you won't be fit to /drive/ until 17:00 the following day.

But there are variables within the strength of the drinks mentioned
above; Guinness is 4.1, Directors is 4.8 and Stella is 5.2. Oh, and
apparently Heineken (with the ABV of 3.4%) has been replaced with the 5%
ABV as sold abroad.
I'm struggling to think of a lager that would be sold per pint with an
average ABV of 3% nowadays, even the Carling is 4.1%.

****ing drink drive nazis.
FWIW I never ride while drinking, as it tends to spill all over the
place. And I certainly never ride while actually drunk, except when a)
it's not my bike, or b) I feel like it.

Yeah, yeah, but where's sir.tony gone? I want to regale him with further
hair-raising tales of inebriated automobilism.

We should bring back random breath testing. I thing it should be standard
procedure give a driver a breath test when being stopped by the police, for
any reason.
