    How many road traffic accidents are the result of drug taking? Where’s the statistics for that?

    1 in 10 of all driver alcohol related collisions occurred between 7am and 11am.

    So 90% of all drink related collisions happen outside that 4 hour window.

    Actually it takes 16 hours from when you start drinking them. So unless you necked 8 pints in a few minutes before midnight they should be out of your system before 16:00.

    You sure? I always thought it was from when you finished? Though quite how your body is supposed to know you've stopped is :confused:

    So how many pints are we saying you're allowed to have if you want to drive to work the next morning? None?
