I just wanted to ask a question as I'm slightly baffled? As my profile will tell you I was banned from driving in 2012, I would rank it as one of the worst things that's ever happened to me, and definitely one I'll never ever repeat!
Well I won't go on but last night I was staying at my son's house and between approximately 6pm and 12.30 pm I consumed a bottle of red wine whilst having a meal and watching a film afterwards, my son went out with his friends. I went to bed afterwards and got a call at 2.30 from one of my sons friends to say he was unwell and could I come and pick him up to which I replied NO because I have had a drink. I have a very reliable and very expensive breathalyzer which I bought when I was banned just as an insurance that even the next morning after a party I'd be ok. Well I blew into it and it registered Zero, I tried it three times with the same result! I still didn't drive although I wanted to go and get him. I just wondered how that is possible? there must be 12 units at least in a bottle of wine so that should be 12 or 13 hours? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
