No drinks for you
The British government is considering a new alcohol limit for drivers in the UK: Zero. That's right, no drinks at all, not so much as s sip of beer or wine before hitting the road. Hell, forget drinks -- that means no cough medicine.
I think the UK has officially overtaken the U.S. as the breeding ground for the stupidest, most intrusive control-freak rules.
Well ... except for this from North Carolina (courtesy of The Agitator):
Oh, OK -- the U.S. is still in the competition.

Also, as of Saturday, people can lose their driver's licenses for providing alcohol to anyone under 21. The penalty is important because many underage drinkers get alcohol from friends or family members, said Craig Lloyd, the executive director of the North Carolina chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
The law means that, theoretically, parents could be punished for giving a glass of wine to their 20-year-old son or daughter, even if the 20-year-old never gets behind the wheel.
Lloyd said that's not excessive.
"It's a zero-tolerance policy," he said. "Breaking the law is breaking the law."
Oh, OK -- the U.S. is still in the competition.

This is insane. The English tradition, once a beacon of freedom, has turned into nannyism.
I grew up with wine on the table at dinner. My friends and I walked into local bars at 15, mostly with our parents knowledge. I am glad that I no longer live in the US and my children can still drink alcohol at home and can still slip into bars and dance clubs with only the occasional hassle.
^^ nice blog!! ^@^
