Reply to: She had this comming

If she had been thinking, she should have done a runner as soon as the teacher took the car keys and said she was calling the police. A good 24 hours on the run and she'd have been sober and able to pass a police breath test.
But being bladdered I guess she couldn't think straight.

Or run straight.

Yes that would have been a great plan Baldrick. With or without the kids?

Good point.

How do you stand on wine gums?

They're the Devil's clag-nuts.

piss head should have kids taken away from her

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.

I suspect many are alcoholics - this woman would appear to be one.

woman I knew who drunk drove was an alcoholic - got caught 4 times over the limit driving 5 minutes up the road - the mind boggles....

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.

WHS

If you're the best part of a bottle of plonk in by picking up time you have issues.

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.

Another drunk dumbass.

If you can't fly, take a boat!

Not really - being addicted to drink is the likely cause - not the same as looting.

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.

Same reason why people loot. They don't realise/understand it's not worth the risk until they're caught. Even then it depends on the punishment.

[Peoplesoft bloke]

Still don't know why people drink and drive, it just not worth the risk!
