It's people like that woman(that's if she had been drinking )...that ruin it for others,..who are sensible .

that's true...but I just think it's very unfair for those who are sensible with what they consume....
So many things get spoilt by irresponsible people....they are the ones that should be banned....IMO.

If driving a car and wishing to be as responsible and alert as that requires, then the answer to that is definitely 'none'!
So why does the law allow it......because they believe they will be alert..otherwise it wouldn't be allowed.

Why can’t they start their holiday drinking when they get to their destination?

I have a conscience and would find it very difficult to live with myself if I injured, or worse still, killed someone as a result of me drinking and driving. For those who do wish to drink responsibly but not drive then there are taxis and public transport.

Having a couple of G & T's on a trip of two or three hours is rather nice as is a mini bottle of what can be quite reasonable wine with a meal is great as is a brandy or similar afterwards. It's CIVILISED!
Where the wheels drop off is when knuckle dragging scum get tanked up before flight. Worse yet is when drink is mixed with drugs. That's just part of Broken Britain though.
