    I need some munchies . Big time. Some nice cold meats and maybe some cheese .

    But I have just finished a full tin.

    Would I be over? God dam it.

    Its horrible being so responsible

    Broken arms and one tin of Heineken, I wouldn't risk it.

    You sound nervous. Better have another can or two before you leave to settle the nerves a bit.

    Drive over to your friendly, neighbourhood garda and ask them to check.

    Its a can. Not a tin. :mad:

    It's ok, if you get stopped by a garda, just tell him you're asthmatic :)

    Not the best place to be asking as a number of factors determine your blood alcohol level including but not limited to when last drink was taken, any food taken in last few hours. The best advice is not to risk it. would it not be better to order a take away and get it delivered.

    You WOULD . Don't risk it. Order a big pizza -pepperoni, extra ham, cheese, chili flakes -& a tub of Haagen dash.or a quattro fromaggi pizzicato with meat oa an extra -& some wedges/garlic dips.

    Don't risk it. They're out breathalysing every weekend. And you are 50% over.

    Criminal conviction etc.

    You can and indeed should. Tins of Heineken should not be allowed to escape under any circumstances.
    Hope you catch it OP.

    Yes, you could also drive after 20 if you wanted. Its still not a good idea though.

    Tins are for beans, not for urine.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 806 ✭✭✭bonzos


    If your stopped tell the garda your a GAA star....if you plan to drink drive alot you should invest in an O'Neill's football and have in beside you in the car if your stopped.

    Are you a new driver? You'll be subject to the 20mg limit and your definitely over then. Other than that you're on a 50mg limit and your still in a possibly over/not over area.

    Best course of action. Wait 2 hours and then go home....

    Just wait another 45 mins or so. You should be good to go then. (Don't have another drink while you're waiting!)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,683 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    By tin, you mean keg..

    if you have asthma it may impear your ability to take the breath test in these curcumstances the garda may ask you to provide a urine sample or a blood sample to verify that you were or were not over the limit*



    * this applies if you were involved in an accident where a mandatory breath test is required
