Where's the "anti-drink-drive uncontrollable paranoia"?

Re: Am Over the Limit to Drive ?
 

Not getting at you Russ, just at the no-drink no-drive syndicate. Everything in moderation, even drinking makes life worth living in a civilised country.

It is not yet a crime to have a drink, it is not yet a crime to have a BAC = 0.08 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, or a BAC = 0.05 in Scotland. It is only a crime if you exceed these limits.

We in the UK are tolerant on the legal limit for blood alcohol levels concerning driving. In some countries it is zero.

I'll use Eastwood's quote for that. Drink (or the need/want/desire) does nothing for me.

I'm not the type who says "I don't agree with it so I want it banned". But if the limit was lowered to zero I wouldn't go out of my way to protest against that.

Re: Am Over the Limit to Drive ?
 

The argument against a zero limit is that it could never work as, apparently, the human body produces a small amount of alcohol naturally.

Re: Am Over the Limit to Drive ?
 

A 'zero' limit wouldn't actually be zero, it would be above trace levels.

If you could get done for possessing anything more than zero coke then I think contactless payment would suddenly become very popular :)
