No more drunk skiing in Italy

    I hear Italy are bringing in breathalyzers on the slopes. The limit will be .5 whatevers - same as a drink driving limit.


    This is absolutely a good thing. You've people with less than a weeks skiing under their belts having a few beers and then "skiing" home after. And they're probably not the worst because they're barely moving. Worse are the people like me who have a few weeks skiing so can get a bit of speed, but my control leaves a lot to be desired when fully sober. I'm not a big man - 11 stone. But if I crashed into someone at a modest enough speed I could do serious damage.


    And with that said, it's a negative when I'm considering where my next trip will be. I wouldn't get pissed on the slopes, but at the end of the day I could be either side of the limit before skiing home.

    I think this stuff is only a matter of time to be everywhere TBH, its the ones who can barely stand that will wreck it for everyone else.
