I like a pint if I go out for a meal or something. Usually I'll drive and the missus will have a couple of glasses of wine. I'll make my first drink a pint of something nice, then have water or soft drinks. This law is nothing more than a restriction on my freedom to enjoy a pint responsibly.
Why do you have a pint when you know you'll be driving?A beer with a meal improves my experience greatly. Complementary goods.

In that case, get a taxi home. A beer with a meal improves my experience greatly. Complementary goods.
If you want to drive, don't have a beer.

As a taxi is £80 back to my house from aberdeen

One pint at the start of the evening, I doubt it even increases the risk a tiny tiny amount.and coke tastes like st

This is an uneccessary change in the law when the Scottish government could be debating far more important issues.
Dissolution of the Scottish parliament would be my choice of something more important to debate.

You know the limit in other countries?
Do all these people who think one pint of normal strength beer is a bad thing agree that driving when tired, ill etc is just as dangerous if not more so ? where do you draw the line, it wont stop people who are hammered driving any more than the current limit.
I don't condone drink driving where the person is clearly not in a fit state to be behind the wheel, but to have one pint with food especially, unless you weigh 4 stone or something shouldn't cause a problem.

I try to abide by the laws of whichever country I am in.
