Everyone can look up the posts you made in other topics previously claiming that you stop at 7/11's after work and consume 2 - 3 large cans of beer before you're home.

 

Better stop trolling if you can't remember what you post

 

Defo 2 cans every day on the drive home... More if there if any slow downs on the motorway (I check google maps before stopping at the 7/11).

 

The fridge is not in the pickup though, its lives I the trunk of the wife's car but will swap it into the pickup when going fishing

It would be unaustralian not to have 2 cans of beer driving home after a day's work. 

 

Lots of weirdos here who would think differently

You just keep burying yourself every time you come on. Do you even think before you reply or does it just come out automatically? Here's a link so you can see how many die each year from those that think driving after drinking is okay. Granted, most everyone has done it at least once, but eventually common sense takes over and you realize the next time you do it, you could kill a child, mother or family...........https://www.jmw.co.uk/services-for-you/motoring-law/blog/drink-driving-statistics-around-world.

Yes, is considered impaired driving, and in a country where people are among the world's worst drivers, you need all the attention you can get. Can't wait to get home to drink? maybe a problem there. ..........https://www.cdc.gov/impaired-driving/facts/index.html

Don't post stupidity on a public forum if you don't want to be called out. Any excuses for drunk driving shows what you think about others, and that you really have no concept of what your username says, or the value of a life.

Freddy, he said 2 bloody beers. 

We are not at school anymore, we are adults. 

 

2 beers is under the legal limit, he's not breaking any laws, he's free to drive. 

 

Please Freddy, go and bug someone else. 

 

There's Another good thread running at the moment, it's regarding thumbs down emoji's. Freddies fetish, form of sexual desire in which you get gratification from sending members this particular object 😊

In that case, they could only sell alcohol to foreigners, and they had to present their passport,

 

 

They're sorta working on that allowing restaurants and pubs in certain areas to sell alcohol 24/7. Although those restaurants and pubs probably already were truth to tell.

 

I really cut down my alcohol consumption. Nevertheless, I side with the freedom of the individual to make their own choices.

 

I will say my problem with the ban is by the time that I get to the supermarket it's often roundabout 2:00 p.m. and I've missed the opportunity to purchase alcohol numerous times because I'm too late. This is a total inconvenience. Same with 5:00 p.m. often times I'm in for the night at 4:00 or 4:30 and don't want to have to go back out again after 5:00 especially in Bangkok when the streets become quite chaotic. This often amounts to me having to change up my schedule simply to purchase a small amount of alcohol which is ridiculous .. kind of the definition of alcoholism despite it being the forced action. Going out of your way, changing your routine in order to acquire alcohol.

 

I would imagine as a tourist especially one that is not aware of this and the alcohol-free holidays it's quite inconvenience and possible negative to ones holiday.

 

For expatriots here it's easy enough just to keep some alcohol stashed.

Got pulled over on the way home today not far from my house, 2 cans consumed in the 1 hour commute.

 

Breath test  reading was 0.02.

 

Well under the 0.05 limit.

It's definitely illogical. 

 

Why is buying a beer at 711 at 1:45pm OK but at 2:15pm illegal?

Why is smoking tobacco and cannabis legal but a vape is illegal?

Why is buying a lottery ticket legal but betting on a football match illegal?

Why are ST rooms in Pattaya bars allowed, but not in BKK bars?

 

It's all very strange. 

 

 

Why is there no alcohol on Buddhist holidays, but cannabis shops are open selling stuff that might have meant jail time not long ago.
