    I had to read the date twice, only 1974 ! In the UK drink drive laws were introduced in the mid 60’s , with the infamous breathalyser in 67!

    ...In fact, new drink-driving laws and the use of the breathalyser test for motorists were introduced in Ireland at midnight on 2 November 1969. The new alcohol limit was set then at 125mgs per 100mls of blood.

    According to this archive report from RTÉ, the-then State pathologist Dr Maurice Hickey estimated an 11-stone man would be over the limit after two and three-quarter pints or four small whiskeys. “That is if he drank them quickly and of course, a fat man could probably drink a lot more,” says the reporter Eddie Barrett in that clip.

    The limit in the UK at the time was even lower at 80mgs per 100mls of blood...

    Wow. Well that's complete nonsense. Nice bit of stereotyping though.

    Whoever believes that’s real is probably the type to believe the 5G coronavirus conspiracy.
