We've moved from a semi-rural area, to a proper, miles from no-where, rural place. I have to say, though I was aware that the adherence to alcohol limits was somewhat looser in these places, I was however surprised at how normalised it is. People make no attempt to hide it. Growing up it was not uncommon, but during the 90s (I guess) it became less and less socially acceptable. Now it is something you hardly ever see in town. Given the stark lack of public transport, police and even taxis it is easy to see how it happens, but as I say, I guess I was just surprised at how accepted it seems to be by everyone. We are walking distance (just under a mile) from the village, but there are plenty of people who come from 10 miles or more. Granted the only thing they are likely to meet on the journey home is a wayward sheep, but still...

Anyway, cool story, etc.

The penalties are still the same if these people get caught though.
Indeed, but the risk (of getting caught) very low.

What do you mean by that?
You must be new to the internet.
