    I don't think anybody is saying anything otherwise. If he had been a mile over the line and not a toe over it then he would be going to prison. He wasn't though and he has been punished and it is dealt with. It's still wrong to be a toe over the line though, and would be just as wrong to pretend it was ok as it would to be over reacting.

    Also needs to be some perspective. "2 glasses of wine" is a very loose term. My wife has a wine glass where to fill it twice would be equal yo about 1 and 1/2 bottles of wine. <laugh><laugh>

    I’m with DPP on this one. The limit is there for a reason. To be honest the limit should be zero.

    Fact is if he had knocked someone over and killed them it would have been catastrophic.

    He takes his punishment just like anyone else should.

    Everyone caught over the limit should face the same penalty imo.

    Because he can afford wine instead of cans of special brew?

    It's like alcoholic syrup... it's an odd drink. Not very pleasant (to me at least).

    No idea. Cheap but strong, I think. Bit of a thug drink.

    When I was a teenager (all those years ago) lads near us used to buy one of the 2L bottles of Diamond White cider, mix it with Special Brew to make snakebites and they were literally off their heads after a couple of hours. <laugh><laugh>

    I remember diamond white. My first experience of drink and spewing within an hour and then getting a panning from me dad.

    Oh happy days they where.
