After a heavy session the night before you are not just hung-over - you are in fact still pissed

Not realy, Guest. Medical research shows that over time your body gets accustomed to many different drugs, including alcohol. Over the course of a nights sleep the effects of the alcohol, as well as the quantity of course, decrease greatly. So, immediately after consuming alcohol it's effects are far greater than than 8 hours later! Cannabis is another example. Traces of cannabis can be found days after it's use but it's effects are over in a matter of hours. So I am told of course...;-)

So, what am I on about...

Oh yes. The measuremnt of alcohol in the blood stream in the morning may be an easy option but it does not provide a fair measure of a persons fitness to drive.

Please don't get me wrong here - I am very much against drinking and driving and would never condone it. What I reckon though is that the 'easy option' of mg of alcohol in the blood may not always be the most accurate measure of fitness to drive!
