amber > 0.2%
red > 0.5%

Tests tonight from a straw poll of 1 device.

Person 1: 6 tests with no result ( probably over limit after test 3 at
3 pints of Carlsberg last test at 6 pints still no result.

Person 2: 6 tests with 3 over limit fairly accurate after test 3 with 3
pints of Stell Artois.

Person 3: 6 tests random accuracy amber up to 1.25 bottles of red wine
approx 13.5% two red and final one no result at 1.5 bottles.

Guess who will be asking for his money back tomorrow, certainly won't be
relying on it for the "morning after" check.

Cheers

 

Have you ever not ridden a bike (or driven a car for that matter) because you
think you were over the limit after a "night before" ?

I may sit on the fence for a bit on this one.

 

I don't ride the bike after a night out (just one too many near death
experiences in morning after zombie mode on the bike). Have a big 4x4 to
keep me safe when I think I'm too pissed/hung over to ride/drive safely
it's automatic too "to work James and don't spare the pedestrians".

 

And why should it be different, on a bike, than in a car ?

 

The "I might get hurt" test is more applicable on a bike.

 

Donald emerged from their own little world to say

Dear Mr Pot

Whether riding a bike or driving a car, "the morning after", you are
still a **** should you still be pissed.

Just because you feel safer doesn't make it acceptable.

Hmmm maybe that 22 points on the EQ test was right after all.
"You have a lower than average ability for understanding how other
people feel and responding appropriately. Most people with Asperger
Syndrome or high-functioning autism score about 20."

Probably explains why I like UKRM.

Going to bed now before I sober up and Nora Jones finishes on channel 4,
wish I'd recorded it now.

 

No sport at this time of the day ...

Just as well I've got a really nice wife who drives me to work if she
thinks I'm still pissed [1]

[1] Ever seen Trains Planes and Automobiles that's me that is, always
end up back at the house after several hours trying to explain how I
missed the last 56 buses/trains etc.

 

And the ripples are still on the surface of the pond, 12 hours
later......

 

I have, on account I was still *pissed* when I got up!

 

Good point. Now where did I put *my* wife and kids

 

It's even easier than that. Take _one_ drop of alcohol, and I don't go
near the bike for twelve hours.

I'm fucking dangerous enough as it is.

 

I think what he's actually saying is that it's marginally less important
than *him* being hurt.

 

Ever since I got nicked (back in 1987) I never drive/ride after a drink.
But the other night, I was out on the piss until the early hours and
drove to Sierra Nevada the next morning at around 8. After about 10
minutes driving, I realised I was still pissed. Wasn't going to turn
around and miss the skiing though. Bastard, I am.

Yeah, but that's in foreign. It don't count if you do it in foreign.

I always thought "school run" time was a particularly dangerous time to
be out on the road because the kids distract the driver. Never thought
to factor in "morning after" response times too.

 

Does it count if you start in Foreign but then have a distinctly hungover
sinking feeling this side of the channel?

Hmm... Toughie.

I guess if the booze you drank was that piss-weak foreign muck, it
couldn't be all bad.

What about stupidly strong "beer espresso" foreign muck; all day?

Ah. You have only yourself to blame. Although The Voices are screaming
"Platypus" at me for some unknown reason.

My advice, should the situation arise again, would be to ride out of
foreign as quickly as possible. Once you regain England, Home and
Beauty, then stop. Sober up.

And resolve to never, ever do it again.
