Good point.
Now I'm no Oliver Reed. I was once. I shudder to think the state I must have been in when driving "the morning after".
But since becoming wiser (a little) and older (a lot) I rarely drink more than 4 pints of cooking bitter these days, often in the company of my old-car-owning cronies, often on some tour or other.
I got to wondering about the logistics of drinking this amount and driving the following morning, so I bought a French-requirement breathalyser kit and put it to the test.
4 pints of Caledonian Deuchars IPA (lovely stuff) in The Clachan Inn, St. John's Town of Dalry, then off to bed. There is a bloke's head embedded in the ceiling of the bedroom, but that is another story.
Anyway, a hearty breakfast - but not so fast! Before eating anything (8 a.m.) I must test myself. To the amusement of my cronies I pulled out this breathalyser kit and tested myself. Zilch. Total failure to register.Sigh of relief; according to the "alcohol-leaves-at-one-unit-per-hour" rule, I should have been safe, had always assumed that I was safe, and finally I proved that I was safe.
That's all folks - just thought it might help.
Did you test the breathalyser kit?
