Another interesting topic I'd like to post; road/drink-driving/drug driving remains a huge issue in the UK, in Europe, and right across the world but do you think one drink affects the ability of people to drive? Personally, there's a zero tolerance from me. I would not have one drink and get the car. Not only are you putting your own life at risk, but other innocent people on the road. Do you think one drink affects the ability for the driver to drive safely?

i think one drink might affect the ability of the driver! suppose it depends how strong the drink is!! if you have hardly ate anything up to the point of having a pint or a glass of wine!! you might feel a bit weird in the head!!
so i agree to the ZERO TOLERANCE! |

Absolutely. Anyone who has been drunk can clearly say it slowed down their reactions ten fold, not to mention the fact your vision and rationalisation is impaired.
To be fair, if someone wants to endanger their own life, so be it. But the moment they get in a car over the limit they're endangering innocent peoples lives and that's not on, no matter how confident they feel. |

There shouldn't even be a limit. One drop of alcohol and you shouldn't be allowed. Alcohol affects people in different ways; some people can get tipsy on the limit

One drink does indeed have an affect on your reactions/concentration etc, no matter how minute. So yes to zero tolerance.

Yes, I think it does. If you go out with your mates and you're the only one not drinking at all, you can see the difference that just one drink or two drinks make.

If you know you are going to have one drink then you shouldn't be driving, simple as.
