PHPBB BOS

The article mentioned some of the ridiculous loopholes that existed. Apparently some people would claim their drink was spiked or blame medication interactions. Courts actually accepted some of these excuses! Completely unacceptable by today's standards.

The pub culture aspect is interesting. British pubs have been a core part of social life for centuries. The shift from 'have a drink and drive home' to using cabs and designated drivers happened pretty recently in historical terms.
