Thread Name: BS: proposed alteration to drink driving level
Subject: RE: BS: proposed alteration to drink driving leve
happy is wrong ,one pint of beer[3.8 percent] normally takes I hour to leave the body.
Six pints of beer[3.8 percent to 4] would normally take about seven and half hours, very few pubs are open in ireland after 1 30 pm.
I rarely drink six pints generally two or three ,I do not think it unreasonable to be able to drink two pints,[maximum] over two hours and be able to drive home,when there is no alternative public transport.
that is not drunken driving.
I have been breathalysed three times in my life and passed each time,that is because I drink THE lower strength STOUT Beamish[3;8 per cent].MURPHYS IS 4 PER CENT, GUINNESS 4 .2 PERCENT.
I generally leave 20 minutes to 30 minutes,after a drink,before I get in my car.
however Guinness are bringing out a lower strength beer 2 .8 per cent,which is good news [if there are any pubs in rural ireland left to sell it]most of the other alternatives are too sweet or ridiculously expensive[bally gowan etc].
if the Irish government were serious[of course they are a bloody joke,look at the millions wasted on electronic voting machines abd berties bowl and 3o k wasted on a leaflet in the irish language that no one read]they would be ensuring ballygowan was the cheapest drink in the pub,but they are not they are just trying to appear that they are doing something for the people,b#####w ########
