Hello all this is my first post here
I got Convicted of, and Banned for, drink driving back in 2004; the ban was for 30 months so is obviously way past now!
However, in that time I kind of got used to not having a car and found it only a minor inconvenience for over ten years; now though I would like to be able to drive again.
In all those years I drank "socially" if that much - so far so good...However toward the end of 2014/early 2015 a few issues lead me to drinking quite a lot more than "socially"; probably 5 or 6 pints of lager most nights.
Since March I have been back to the more social level of 3 or 4 pints 3 or 4 times a week - I don't feel that is excessive, though they might do so.
Its not a problem for me to stop drinking for a few weeks prior to a medical, as long as there is a point to doing so (IE I get a licence returned).
The real question is I never see my GP, at all since 2008 - so they have no records of what I do or dont do - will this be a problem?
