Subject: BS: Driving the 'Morning After'?
Ok, so here I am full of Cider and Stout. I am lucky. I don't need to drive tomrrow. But, if I did...

I could be breathalised and fail. I am not sure if that is a good thing or not? Surely having a hangover is no worse than having a cold or flu?

Could we not have some way of determining if we are fit to drive or not? If having had a dozen units or so the previous night precludes you from driving surely sneezing 10 times a minute must be as bad? Or being angry? Or wondring what dress to wear?

They have now said speaking on a handheld mobile phone is illegal. Surely eating your lunch or putting on your makeup must be as bad?

I'm not sure what I am getting at but someone out there must know why driving 8 hours after you have had a few is worse than driving while you are depressed or under chemotherapy or taking insulin?

Know what I mean?

Hope you can help:-)

Cheers
