Rob W 0 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Eating slows alcohol absorbtion - but taking a leak doesn't chnage things as it's blood stream levels they test - by the time its in the urine its out of the testing zone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Immediately before driving:- men should consume no more than 4 units, women no more than 3 Geet big girls blouses - 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just over and reckoned the copper told him he would have been under if he'd eaten something or taken a piss. 190565[/snapback] I'm pretty sceptical about the taking a piss bit. Did he demand a blood test was done, thus giving him some more time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21040 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 According to Rob's guidelines, if I have 4 pints of stellar at my pub quiz (finishing at 11 pm), I am unfit to drive to work the next day at 8 am.

Ally 0 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I'm often more worried about being pulled over in the morning on the way to work after a night out. Sure there have been occasions where i've been over the limit (bloodwise, not as in i'm staggering about) after only a few hours sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adios 717 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 any booze slows your reactions of course 190656[/snapback] So does lack of sleep, poor diet, lack of exercise, age, genetics etc. Got to find a middle ground, maybe I should say - majority are affected enough for it to be a real problem after a couple of pints.

Southern Geordie 1 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 My mate got breathalised after having one pint and scored 8/35 or whatever it was on the reading. I was under the impression that two units was a bottle, not a pint. A pint is technically over. Also knew a friend to have had 3 or 4 pints and got breathalised when moving his car across the road (not driving away.. just wanted to move it for the morning). He passed the test also.. You'd have to be a complete lightweight I reckon to fail the test after 3 or 4 units (2 or so pints). Saying that, I'll never have more than a pint when driving, even then that pint will be over the space of a couple of hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebellious 0 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 No not now, but when i was younger i stupidly dropped off my girlfriend who lived near the police headquarters for this county shortly after drinking half a bottle of vodka. I got pulled over, breathalized. Before the light could change a car sped past with a smashed window and a flat tyre. The policed dived in there car and chased it. Lucky escape. Oh and the time i got drunk round a girls, fell asleep. She gave me the choice of the sofa or home, so i went home still drunk, she lived opposite the local police station. Once i did the walk past the station windows to the car the drive home across the bridge in the dark seemed easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmag 336 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 The thing with drinking and driving is that if you do it you deserve everything you get if you have an accident and end up badly injured or dead. Unfortunately if you hit or kill someone else, they don't deserve it. Seen far too many people in hideous states (both drivers and victims) following drink driving incidents. Anyone on here who tells other people that they're a lightweight for not being able to handle any alcohol and drive is a fucking muppet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone caught drinking and driving should have a mandatory sentence to include a weeks worth of shifts in an ER or with an ambulance crew. F*ck around all you want with your life but how dare you put others at risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
