Would love to ''play the white man'' on this, but as a fair few have taken to the wheel after too many beers in the past. That said, these days I am far more careful BUT surely over the legal limit after my 2 or 3 pints.

The point I would make, is that I feel I am a far better driver (whether sober or with with 2 or 3 pints) than the guys here in China or similarly in Thailand etc. You need to watch out who else is on the road..... and has possibly been drinking/smoking/injecting :tsk:

At the end of the day, I have a limit of 3 pints if I drive anywhere...... may not agree with the legal limit, but I'm certainly not pi**ed. :cheers: :cheers:

Anymore and it has to be a taxi or a cheapy room (is there such a thing :naughty: !!)

Yes, I would have to agree with you there Steve.

Yes Pete, in your case you would be. Well over it. Probably before you'd actually ordered your second one. You are Welsh after all :laugh:

My wife doesn't really drink (the occasional glass on a special occasion) and would rather have a fruit smoothie, so when we are together, I always have a designated driver (and usually need one)! :cheers:
