It could be argued the limit is ridiculously high. The '92 T&WA limit is
the same as the road.

The BR Board adopted the medical zero (30mg) for their safety critical
staff.

Without becoming a drink drive bore, you either drink, or you drive. You
don't do both. I speak as a train driver and the embarrasing uncle at
/whatever/ wedding.

Personally I don't give a toss.

Just hope all understand an 'average' pint of beer takes 2.5 hours to be
assimilated, (the usual specs say 1 hour per unit for 1/2 pint of 3%
Heineken). So the sensible *8* pint night on Guiness/Stella/Directors
you won't be fit to /drive/ until 17:00 the following day.


But there are variables within the strength of the drinks mentioned
above; Guinness is 4.1, Directors is 4.8 and Stella is 5.2. Oh, and
apparently Heineken (with the ABV of 3.4%) has been replaced with the 5%
ABV as sold abroad.

I'm struggling to think of a lager that would be sold per pint with an
average ABV of 3% nowadays, even the Carling is 4.1%.
