Just a few points on the drink driving thing:
You can drink up to a defined limit and drive in Ireland without breaking any laws.

I see no need whatsoever to mix the two, I am a terrible fiend for the drinking, but the extreme taboo that is drink driving is enough to completely and utterly dissuade me from ever thinking that it was ok to do so.
If I'm driving, I'm on the lemonades or probably just stick to the uisce, if I'm drinking, its balls to the wall stuff. Americans are absolute fiends for it, it really really shook me when I was over there that plenty of them would drive to party, have 5/6 cans, one glass of water and then drive home.
It's just something I don't want to be involved in, ever. There's no excuse worth dying for. That's the simplest way of putting it. If you know that you'll need to drive to a pub to get a drink, get a few cans from the off license and stay in instead. Convenience isn't worth the hassle.

i took up driving later in my life than many people i was close to 30 before i started but having worked in pubs and clubs having seen the state of some of the fools leaving to step into a car to drive home (in some cases not more than 500m away) i made a promise to myself never to have a drink if i have the car with me, not even a pint. Its surprisingly easy

Free Rent for a submissive girl in Need (Williamsburg)
Ok before I have a flood of emails from people that hate what I am doing all I can do is say I am sorry if this concept offends you, so we know this isn't for you. what I offer is plain and simple. I am looking for a submissive girl that just wants to take a break from paying rent and bills, or is trying to save up money for what ever reason. I have a room in a big loft that is empty right now. it has a huge loft bed and a large wardrobe. it is private and only for you. all I ask from you is your generosity and loyalty. I have done this before so I am patient and kind, and a lot of fun. so if you are a tourist from another country visiting NYC and want to save money then this will work out for you or just a person who needs a plain old break then this is also for you and yes this is physical. so please feel free to drop me a line, please attach a photo. have a good day and take care

Having one pint and driving is not an issue, at all. The only reason for it to be outlawed is to perpetuate the meme "Never drink and drive". That's not based on reality, good statistics or anything other than propaganda.
I'll say this: I've driven drunk before. I won't do it again. But driving while tired is a hundred times worse than driving while drunk. If you're drunk, and you know you're drunk, you can force yourself to focus and make yourself concentrate on the road. If you're tired, no matter how hard you try, you are going to make a mistake, and you can't do fuck all except hope you get home in one piece. So learn to sleep in your car."I can’t find anyone who agrees with what I write or think these days, so I guess I must be getting closer to the truth." - Hunter S. Thompson

Yeah noticed the same thing about the yanks, it's really weird how lackadaisical they are about drink driving, and to make it worse on a whole they really can't handle drink as well as the Irish- not a brag but it's true.Last edited by The Situation; 26-06-11, 01:33.Profit before people.

Originally posted by connie147 View Post@ Kayroo.
Im 100% convinced that speed on the road is a far bigger killer than alcohol. (in saying that, I am not saying that drink driving is OK. In fact Im a strong opposer of it. Im driving 30 years and can honestly say I have never done it, and when I go out, I take steps to make sure I dont).
Old couple living down here were involved in a serious crash last week on one of those country roads you were mentioning. The lady was killed outright, the gent in hospital with no hope of recovery. (both in their 60's or 70's). A relation of theirs frequents the club here, and he was telling me last night that a boy-racer was the cause of it (happened around midnight). The old dears never drive more than 40-50 mph, so you can imagine the speed he must have been doing to do that damage.
I can only speak for down this way, but the amount of boy-racers on the road at night-time and their lack of common sense on it as well is simply frightening. Because of their age, they see no danger. Its all a showing off thingy imho. And they come out in groups late at night. Its no coincidence that insurance companies charge the young people an arm and a leg for insurance. I dont have the figures with me, but a lot of these country road crashes and deaths late at nite involve young drivers. Yes, of course, some of these accidents have drink involved, but my opinion is that more have speed and young drivers as a contributing factor.
Gardai cant man every road with speed-guns. I see it going on every night of the week (probably on a larger scale on weekend nights). If young people want to put their lives at risk with their bravado driving skills, then thats up to them. Its just a pity that they take innoccents with them as well sometimes.
Originally posted by hotspur View PostI'm no friend of the bog, but even I realise there's more to it than this.
The funny thing is, I'll probably get into a car with a driver somewhat over the legal limit coming back from the local down the country, but I wouldn't in Dublin. There are just less cars to crash into I guess.

How would people who see no problem with drink driving feel if worse case scenario was to happen. They kill someone or someone in their family was to be killed by a drink driver.
Sure you only had 3/4/5 pints and nothing every happened before when you drove after a few. I'm sure the persons family would feel better after hearing that.
Or Tom who has been drink driving for years, only ever has a few and he never made a mistake driving before. I'm sure you can relate to him and forgive him when you're putting a family member in the ground.

Now if a guy was drunk out of his head as I said earlier its a whole different thing. For me if I got in a car after 6 pints I'd deserve anything that happened to me. I am not fit to drive a vehicle at that stage, I might get home alright but I do know that I my reactions etc. are impaired after that many pints.Last edited by eagle eye; 26-06-11, 04:28.'Mental Toughness is doing the right thing for the team when it's not the best thing for you' - Bill Belichick

Ya sure i could somehow cause a freak accident anyone want to admit using there phone to text at the wheel as bad if not worse imo.
When i started driving drink driving was a done thing and having 5/6 pints was pretty acceptable. I dont ever go out with the intention of drink driving and try take steps to avoid been put in a situation where id need to. I would be very slow also to get in a car with someone who was drunk aswell and i dont really agree with drink driving or anything. I do see old guys who like to have 5/6 pints and cant now due to the laws and its a part of there social life taken away.
The reason my post didnt kick off like msns is the fact i wont get caught in a debate or care like msn or make up stuff. I dont think anyone should have been getting at her personal life either what she said about the cat was crazy but thats it.
Just said i better respond to reassure people im not drink driving every night of the week. Fwiw i doubt il respond to any comments have a real life to lead aswell.

The couple of serious long term alcoholics I know are excellent drivers. All their driving has been done while intoxicated,
These opinions are pretty frightening.Surely common sense dictates that the presence of alcohol slows down your reaction time and impares judgement?
I had a quick google myself and here's a study I found from the University of California
The relationship between serious injury and blood alcohol concentration (BAC) in fatal motor vehicle accidents: BAC = 0.01% is associated with significantly more dangerous accidents than BAC = 0.00%
