Pretext: I absolutely DO NOT drink drive and this post is out of curiosity only.
Basically im after whats safe in the terms of the laws of the land. How many units is one allowed to consume before they are considered over the limit? ( a simple google would have told me this but im after more info). How long does alcohol take to ware off, i heard that its something in the region of a unit per hour but am highly sceptical about this.
I also understand that any drinking and driving is stupid (i mostly drink nothing, if i do it will be no more than half a pint (leaving an hour or 2 till i need to drive) and will put up with cigarettes for the night!) yet i know that different people have different tolerances to alcohol, would i lightweight take less to get to the limit (in terms of units) as apposed to a more heavyweight (read: old man who has been drinking all his life!).
Thanks again, i reiterate that this is all purely out of curiosity and i am against anyone driving when they are over the limit!
