I'm not sure what the blood alcohol reading would be here, but the limit is 80 milligrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood. An increasing number of people, myself included, don't drive at all after consuming any alcohol... well not for a food few hours anyway. My driving is bad enough as it is!mad jew said:I don't know what the limit is like in the UK, but I can still get away with a few glasses of wine over the course of a day, with no problems at all. Our limit is a blood alcohol reading of 0.05, which is pretty lenient.
There's definitely a knack in balancing how much to drink and how much work needs to be done.

I have to say I agree, I'd probably be more productive if I didn't drink but I've learnt to taste just a bit without overdoing it. I've had to considering the rest of my job is driving between accounts.
dynamicv said:LOL. That reminds of the time I did a project for a company that shared offices with Ernst & Julio Gallo. There was just wine, wine and more wine, plied up in every corner, and the Gallo people just used to give it away.
That was a real test of self-control
This is a old wives tale, or old second world war doctor's/nurse's tale. Alcohol doesn't interact with antibiotics at all (well except for one but it's rarely used, metronidazole and rarely causes an interaction; or maybe cephamandole[surgical prophylactic, given i.v or i.m., so probably not your situation]). The tale was started to try to keep the GIs in line, so they wouldn't get rowdy, and perhaps more sexually liberated as a lot of the antibiotics were for those lovely STDs that were apparently quite popular at the time.Blue Velvet said:Meh. I'm just bitter and jealous 'cos I can't drink at all at the moment... taking antibiotics. Powerful ones, horse ones as my GP called them.
