Posted By Paul Bellis Try this web site - it gives you all the information you need http://www.alcoweb.com/e...d/legislation_blood.html Or the Institute of alchol studies http://www.ias.org.uk/ which has some very interesting factsheets, including the sentences you can expect for exceeding the limits in the various Countries. Best advice is DONT DO IT ! Cheers Paul
