"LONDON (Reuters) - Almost half of young drivers get behind the wheel
the morning after a heavy drinking session despite the fact that they
are likely to be over the legal limit, road safety research said
Thursday.
The survey, of 4,640 drivers - 533 aged between 17 and 24 - came as
the latest figures revealed that seven people a day died or were
seriously injured from drink drive accidents in Britain over the past
year.
Campaigners called on drivers to realise that alcohol stayed in the
body for a "surprisingly long time" - sometimes up to 13 hours after
consumption..."

Do you expect anybody on this group to agree that you should drive pissed?
But to answer the question, there is no reason that motorists can not drink
over the Christmas period, & that applies to anybody motorist or not.
Of course there will be many people who should not drink because of medical
problems etc.
Now before you start on about MT I will add that nobody should drive if they
are over the limit or whose judgment is impaired, at any time.
Now I have answered your question can you answer mine :-
Where is the report you promised us on Vince's travel arrangements?
