Hey all,
Last night I was stopped and breathalised by the police on my way home after visiting friends.
I below 0 at the roadside (which was obviously good news) however I had actually been drinking (although I thought I'd be under the limit) and now I'm confused.
I had 3 cans of lager (mixed with lemonade) over the space of 6-7 hours, then waited a further hour before driving where I had a pint of lemonade. The lager says it is 1.8 units per 440ml can.
I couldn't believe it when I blew 0 as I had been drinking. Do you think the machine the police were using was faulty? Otherwise it sounds like I could have drank more and still have been under the legal limit (I do understand that any amount of alcohol impairs your judgement / ability etc).
Thanks.
