        That coupled with the fact that when you're pissed, you often do things you regret later. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

          I enjoy a small sweet sherry as much as the next man, but I don't think alcohol should be served on planes or anywhere at airports. I also think that check-in staff should be able to breathalyse passengers they suspect of being alcohol 'impaired', with a view to refusing them a boarding card.

            Good point.

              She might not have had a drop to drink that morning - If she'd necked a bottle of spirits the night before, until say 3am, she'd still have been as drunk as a skunk the next morning, and reeking of booze.

              But that said, she probably had had a drink or two for breakfast.

                Very true but She told officers she said had drunk around three or four ‘standard glasses’ of white wine before getting behind the wheel.


                Like you said though, she's most likely just topping up the tank from yesterday, day previous etc

                Sad for the kids.

                      Yeah - they'd be much better off being abused and learning to TWOC cars in a children's home. Clearly, the best thing will be for her to sort her addiction out.
