I'm sure I could drive no problem after 2 or 3 pints but I never wanna find out. I'll never have my car with me while drinking. I'd never drop in for one while out with the car. I'd sooner go home and come back. I'm from Dublin so a lot easier than some other parts of the country.

Sometimes I don't wear my shoes in the house, sometimes I do, hope that's cleared everything up.

Mattie McGrath says it gives me the confidence to be a better driver so who am I to disagree.

The OP's an echo-warrior.

You should Never drink & drive...

could spill your drink...

I used to be murder for it from the ages of 17-19; I'd have no problem driving home after ten pints but now I never drive unless I'm 100% sure I'm under the limit. A lot of my friends getting put off the road has stopped me doing it.

Rabidlamb

Sure I do, not sloshed mind you, just an easy 5 or 6 pints.
Have to hide the car now out of sight of the pub due to the rollickings I'd get, it was easier back in the day.

AngryBollix

I never bring me wheels to the pub.

I simply dont trust myself around alcohol

You can get a few jars in at the traffic-lights, just remember to stop, whatever colour they're on.

CardBordWindow

I'd never risk it.....so I cycle instead!

(I have no license anyways.)

grumpymunster

Quite often have a cup of coffee whilst driving, I have been known to push the boat out with a bottle of ballygowan as well.

Son Of A Vidic

All the time OP, in fact I can't drive without it. A bottle of JD sets me up nicely for the day.

Btw OP - will ya train that stupid parrot properly ffs.

Drinking and Driving is for losers.
Driving on LSD now theres a buzz:pac:

Feisar

I had a glass of wine on two occasions with my Sunday dinner and drove about three hours later. Won't be doing it again.

I don't go for one or two, if I'm out I'm out and there's no way I'd drive after a session, or most of the next day for that matter.

Chuck Stone

I have very little self control when I drink so I leave dangerous things like cars and pointy shoes at home when I go on the lash.

UK based drink calculator: http://www.alcohol-stuff.co.uk/tools/bac-calculator/

So a twelve pint session finishing at two in the morning and I won't be fit to drive till two the next day.

djk1000

I did when I was young and knew everything, t'was still illegal back then but not quite as frowned upon.

These days, getting busted would be a career ender, so I don't do it at all, ever ever.

What pisses me off is that these days I'm nervous driving the morning after, **** you nanny state!!

Feisar

Must play this and record my scores as I drink to see what happens my coordination/reaction time.

See the link in my post above, its well into the next day and not just early in the morning!

When i was in my early to mid twenties i used to do it quite a bit - something i'm quite ashamed of now. Luckily no harm ever came of it, i never crashed or got caught.
Of 3 drinking buddies - one passed out at the wheel and ploughed a car head on, luckily no one was badly hurt - but the 2 cars were write offs and he got lengthy ban. The other hit a telegraph pole (all 3 of us were in the car at that time) again, no one was hurt but the car was written off - no ban or anything. After that i wised up - any one of us could have killed someone or ourselves, it's only luck that stopped that from happening. It was basically scummy behaviour and my attitude is you are what you do. If you act like a scumbag then you are a scumbag, if i didn't want to be one, i had to stop behaving like one - so i did. Haven't driven drunk in best part of 10 years, never will again either.

Wattle

I did when I was absolutely hammered and crashed the car. Next thing I knew police sirens, brought to station, breathalysed. Few months later brought to court, banned and fined.

That was nine years ago and I haven't drank a drop since. It was one of the worst things that ever happened to me and at the same time it gave me the wake up call I needed. And no nobody got injured. By the grace of God nobody got injured.

R.D. aka MR.D

Nope!

It would be unbelievably selfish of me and I could never live with myself if I hit anybody after even one or two pints.

The morning after is a different story and I've been fairly ashamed of myself a few Sunday mornings heading to work

maggy_thatcher

Once while out on a session, we ended up in an arcade, and I played a car racing game -- very quickly told me that drink/driving is a very bad idea.

charlietheminxx

Never. Never have, never will. I'm always careful the next day too, avoiding driving til the afternoon, if I drive at all.

There are too many deaths on the road - why take a chance on becoming one of them or (arguably worse) risk killing someone else? There is no excuse for it, it's incredibly selfish.

Johnny Foreigner

My parents were killed 7 years ago by a drunk driver. I was visited the day they were killed by 2 Policemen and they broke the news to me. Then I had to go to the Hospital and give a positive identification. I have never felt pain like it. The drunk driver survived the car accident, and is currently serving a jail term. Today I laid some flowers on my parents graves. I can never forgive the man that killed my parents.
To all those who say they drink and drive, please don't.

Joey the lips

Nah... I find it easier to sniff glue and fly.


Jesus how depressing this is capable of getting.

LOL at the qualified responses.
PC gone mad i tells ya.
Love the post saying they stopped because it's a career-ender. Nothing to do with the possibility that intoxication and being in command of 1.5 tons of steel propelled at high speed might be a bad idea.
Jesus wept.

Evie90

Nope, never have never will.

John Doe1

I had a few sauvignon blancs before my bike ride if that counts

TheZohanS

Yeah I always drink drive, shur what harm? I find vodka helps me concentrate allinanyways.

KeithAFC

Nope. I would not shame my family by getting drunk, never mind drink driving. Try to keep to traditional values.

RachaelVO

Never done it, don't plan on doing it either!

I know I posted this AGES ago in another thread but I know a guy, fairly well, and he plays football on a Sunday morning, then he hits the pub and stays there til closing or there abouts He leaves his car in the car park, gets a taxi home and the next morning collects his car.

Sounds reasonable, until he got a phone call after having a few pints to tell him his Dad had a heart attack. He got into his car and drove home, he said he was sh1tting himself the entire time. Not afraid he'd get caught, cos he knew he WAS drink driving, he was terrified he'd crash or injure someone. He has since never left his car in the carpark, he brings it home and then heads back to the pub. He said the temptation of the car sitting in the carpark if anything ever happened again was too great.

gustafo

have been nabbed twice for DD, wont be at it again not worth the hassle, learnt me lesson now.

Celly Smunt

I can't remember..

Frank Black

Being in a car accident when sober would be really painful I'd imagine.

Caraville

Why the F**K would anyone ever drink and drive? I honestly will never understand it. Absolute bulls**t behaviour of the highest order.

I have absolutely ZERO time for anyone who thinks drink driving is acceptable- and I don't care what reasoning someone can come up with. There is NO acceptable reason for drink driving. I know people who live in the country may feel it's harsh that the limits keep decreasing, but tell that to the families of those who are killed or seriously injured due to drink driving.

If you can't go without a drink, and think that you'll have to drink drive rather than go without, then there's more wrong with you than poor judgement.

It's honestly baffling how around 20% of posters here drink drive. I'm appalled and actually really disappointed (and slightly scared too) to learn that. Hopefully a bit of trolling in the answers there...
