You should have to check your car keys at the bar before you get your first pint. You only get them back if you pass a breathalyser test, like the one the bizzies use. Landlords should be responsible people and not let drunks drive home.

A reaction time test is an interesting idea. We struggled for years to get my father to give up his car, so I'm sympathetic to the idea. I guess it might also prevent some kinds of drug–driving.

Get off Facebook. There's no way of using Meta's services that's compatible with ethics or self-defence.
