What would you do if!!!

My girlfriend and her friend got on the wrong train and ended up going the wrong way!! They got off immediately but realised that the trains had then stopped and the place was too remote to get a taxi from.

I said no to picking her up and asked her to phone my parents. I said that although it was really late they wouldnt mind as they wouldnt want anything to happen to her.

She was in a massive taxi rank queue which could have taken hours but the people in the queue took pitty on her as she looked miserable and they let her jump the queue.

I probably wasnt over the limit by 1am though? 13 units from around noon till 9pm although the majority were drank between about noon and 4pm.

From your OP - "there were no taxis"
Now there were but your G/F couldn't be bothered to wait.

Glad you didn't drive to meet her.
Shame she made other people wait longer.

Sounds like someone is still on the JD!

No way, you'd need longer to process that alcohol.

Similar thing happened to my father. He had drank about 4 tins of lager at lunchtime at home with no intentions of going anywhere.

Sisters car broke down about 11pm so a phone call from mum and he felt pressured into going to pick them up.

He has just got his license back after serving 9 of his 12 Month ban, cut short as he did the course. I think he registered 38mg where the limit is 35mg.

No excuses, hands up.

DON'T DO IT !!!


That poster in #10 has been around a while. There is a whole photo story of her passage from beautiful girl to that. She looks fantastic in the poster compared to how she looked during the process. Grim viewing.

Jacqui was a student from Venezuela who had come to the U.S. to study English.
On September 19, 1999, 20-year-old Jacqui was in a car with four other friends on the outskirts of Austin, Texas when they were hit by an 18-year-old high school boy on his way home from drinking with some friends.
The car in which Jacqui was riding caught fire.
Two of her friends died.
She survived, but with burns over more than 60 percent of her body.
Nobody thought she would survive.
She lost her hair, her nose, her ears, he left eyelid and much of her vision.
Her fingers were amputated.
She’s become a spokesperson against drunk driving.

Jacqueline Saburido has no nose or ears, limited vision, stubs for fingers and constant pain. But she survived the fiery wreck in 1999 that killed two friends on Austin’s RM 2222. She has come a long way since last summer, when she still struggled to do basic tasks such as wipingher face. In her home hangs a wooden crucifix carved by an aunt, one of many signs of faith she keeps near.

The skin on Jacqui’s head is stretched taut across her skull and breaks very easily, requiring frequent treatment and bandaging. She feels as if she is growing up again, she says, except she doesn’t know whether she ever will. ‘In reality, I’ve been born again, and so it’s like I died. I’ve lived all the stages of a baby,’ she says.

If the 13 whiskeys were of one measure size, then the OP would have consumed 13 units of alcohol. Most peoples' livers breakdown alcohol at a rate of one unit per hour, therefore someone drinking 13 units in one go at 9pm, would be clear of alcohol at 10am. The units the OP consumed in the afternoon would be "clearing" even as he drank in the early evening, meaning that all alcohol would be out of his system before 10am.

With this in mind, I would still answer his question as NO since, at 1am, he still has alcohol in his system ( perhaps over the legal limit, perhaps not ).

each person is different with that amount of units i would be hospitalised never mind driving.. i would certainly never drive within 24 hours of drinking that amount of sprits
