[News] "Morning after" drink driving / Kirsty Gallacher

[Bozza]

It does genuinely seem that the only solution to this is to get a personal chauffeur.

Can anyone recommend one?

For you or for Kirsty ?

She's got an outie

Do we know how that impacts the absorption of alcohol?

I'm reading that it takes "between 15 and 90 minutes for alcohol to enter the blood stream after drinking depending on whether the stomach is empty or has food in it."
.

Does that mean you can neck half a bottle of Tequila in one, and you'll be legal to drive home really quick (within 15 minutes)...?

I have joked before about drinking a can of cider on the way home from the supermarket before to be, literally, drink driving. The booze wouldn't reach the bloodstream until such time as I got home and should make the unpacking a bit less dull.

It's all gone down hill for him since Oasis split up.

 

[Rogero]

3 time over the limit? I don't know where she puts it, naughty girl.

Are those real?

Yes. That is a guaranteed fact.

I was looking for cars in the USA, where I heard they had breathalyzers fitted and found this; https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://bigthink.com/ideafeed/new-car-technology-promises-to-keep-drunk-drivers-off-the-road&ved=0ahUKEwiR6Om96Y3WAhWQOsAKHaNbB3IQFgiaATAZ&usg=AFQjCNFSoOOtPMn3iRA5fSuvozm7f17gUA

Seems people don't like the blow and go.. I didn't realise it randomly tells you to blow again to check you haven't cheated on it! Seems very inconvenient if you are under the limit. Touchpad seems a better idea.

It gives the false impression that you're able to tolerate more alcohol than others, as you keep drinking while those around you vomit.

So do I, now.

 

[Notters]

I drive in morning arter I have had 2/3 pints,a meal and 7/8 hours sleep. Always considered I was OK. Is it possible to buy a breathalyser it so you can test yourself in morning

I'd say you'd be unlikely to be over the limit after that meal (though obviously wouldn't advise it), let alone in the morning.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Why stop there. You could have a large P or an R printed on your shirt ,jumper or jacket when you go out of the house at anytime. The P doesn't stand for Palace either. Even I wouldn't go that far.

I like your idea. Flipping this around, maybe us craft beer drinkers could have a huge C printed on our jumpers and jackets. Folk would then instantly be able to tell we're craft beer drinkers and give us the respect we deserve. The 'C' stands for craft.

How about 'Craft Understanding, Not Tasteless'. Might need to make up some kind of acronym so it fits on the jumper.

Are you in the Craft Or Cask Klub?

Halfords sell them, as it's a legal requirement to have two in your car, whilst driving in France.

Not anymore. That law was suspended a while ago.

I'll clarify that - it's still on the list of items you have to have in the car but there's no enforcement currently.

 

[Arthritic Toe]

I'm quite happy that I can have two pints of weakish bitter (say 3.8%) and drive home from the pub.

I was thinking Paedophile or Rapist but yes C for Craft would be fine. I think women could have a Y or N on their fronts. It would save young men a lot of time.
