    A licensee is responsible if people are drunk on their premises, even if they arrived drunk on the premises. Its possible.

    Solution: don't drink. There no need to.

    No, I'd be 99% sure that it'll be fine but if you're worried, chew some gum before getting there and try act sober.

    i seriously doubt it, the cost and delay the tests would cause wouldn't be worth it for them. they'll probably follow the age old rule of if you look or act drunk you aint gettin in or are about to be thrown out. its just a rumour, dont worry about it. good luck with the results.

    You blow into a tube connected to either a bag or a machine. With the bag type the alcohol make the colour of a crystal change. I'm not sure how the machine works.

    Ah your that girl that wants to go to clubs and get langered and god knows what. If I recall correctly you butchered the english language.

    Stay away, It's a scary place.

    Get someone else to blow up a baloon, then when they make you try and blow into the tube, use the balloon full of non alcoholic breath on the tube.

    They'll never know.

    if its a ticket event the tickets must state the terms of entry
    ie(they cannot say if you fail a breathalyzer test you cannot go in)
    unless its stated on the tickets

    same with clubs, a club cannot search you for weapon or drugs unless
    they have a sign up stating customers will be searched on entry.

    i know its never enforced but you could kick up a fuss and cause a scene,
    you could probably get a TV crew to film it as there will be lots around town
    just make sure your're not drunk if you are going to argue this.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28,128 ✭✭✭✭Mossy Monk


    but if you shouldnt be drinking why oh why would you worry about breathalisers

    afterall from your previous exploits you have shown yourself to be super mature and super mature teenagers wouldnt break the law now would they.

    oh no, i am thinking of someone else, please continue

    I'm sure the ticket also says "Management reserve the right to refuse admission". This pretty much gives them carte blanche to refuse anyone they want.

    Can you not buy disposable breathalyzers in Ireland? Those are VERY handy, we would buy a few before a nite out, and all the guys who where driving where given 1 before we got into the car :D.

    No i doubt they will breathalyze at the event. There is too many people and it would slow things down considerably.

    n wil u plz stp pstin n rtrd plz?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,564 ✭✭✭✭whiskeyman


    As all the others have pointed out, there wont be breathalyzers.
    Each time its used, they'd have to use a new mouthpiece (for hygiene reasons), so that would increase costs and time.
    The promoters are there to make money in the first place.
    As someone else pointed out, if you look drunk / reek of booze, they wont let ya in.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 332 ✭✭Ann Elk


    Anyone going to see Akon should be shot - not breathalysed. Joking aside I really can't believe that anyone would pay so hear that crap - It's like Orville the Fu*king Duck for the 00's :mad:

    <insert flame here>
    EDIT:\did she expext them to breathalyze that ammount of people. i don't know the exact capacity of the point but i can bet its a fair few. They wont breathalyze.
