Drink driving

2, 4 and 5.  

Drove home pissed once (day I got home from a Spanish holiday, went to a 40th) in 2000 and vowed never to do it again.  I only had to drive about 2 miles but it was fookin ridiculous thing to do.  Since the drink driving law was changed, I might occasionally have 1 pint all night, or else just stay on the water or soft drinks.  Just not socially or morally acceptable anymore.

Got caught win the engine turned on hammered one night. Don't remember it and thank god they caught me because god only knows what would have happened. Before getting caught I would have the odd time drove home from the local pub which I don't have to go out onto any main roads while being over the limit for sure.

Don't think its an "end of" black or white situation.

1)Somebody having 2 pints (over the limit) and driving 2 miles down a country lane in a very rural area

2) Getting black out drunk not remembering driving through city and residential area.

Big difference between the two imho and I'm not preaching as i've done both many times .

Kind of a separate point but also related,

I think boy racers thinking they are immortal and are better drivers than anyone else on the road pulling stupid/dangerous moves on the road are selfish pricks.Again I was one of them so not preaching.

If it was a bicycle, 2, 3, 4 and 6.

I've cycled home and not remembered doing it more times than I can remember. The big thing that stopped that messing was last October, when I went to a friend's house for a few drinks. Bought a bottle of rum, met the bottom of that with another friend there, then starting making mojitos with gin. Fell asleep on the couch, only to wake up at 1am and find the place empty. Of course, I cycled into town, had a kebab, then went on to meet my friends. I remember cycling along the quays, then up to Baggot street where I met them. Definitely went on to Leeson street, was in a place there briefly, and then presumably went to head home. At some stage en route home, I fell off the bike (towards the kerb) and, upon feeling a bit of a snap, looked down and noticed my thumb was at *completely* the wrong angle. So I ended up leaving the bike and getting a taxi to James's hospital. When I left James's about three hours later, dislocated thumb having been snapped back into place, I didn't have a clue where the bike was. I spent the best part of the following weekend (this was a Friday night) walking the streets in that area of Dublin never to find it. Thankfully the hospital were able to relocate my thumb even if I wasn't able to relocate my bike. I've posted this story on here before, but it is definitely relevant to this thread, so sorry if anyone is reading it a second time. I've never deliberately set out to drink cycle since and invariably take the bus into work on Fridays just in case I end up out. I still wouldn't have an issue cycling home after three or four pints, but I have set a four pint limit that I haven't broken since that night.

But I have no driving licence, so option eight on the above poll.

My bro is good friends with a lad who was a jockey. Won a race. Had a drink with the owners of the horse. They were all going out. He decided to drop the car home after two pints and get a taxi back. Killed two people on his way home.
