Arrive Alive: Watch how much you drink

by

20101225

Watch how much you drink! This is the warn­ing from Brent Bat­son, head of Ar­rive Alive. Bat­son was speak­ing with re­porters in Cou­va on Fri­day evening. Bat­son said while road fa­tal­i­ties have gone down in 2010 by 13 per cent when com­pared to 2009, the pub­lic should al­ways be vig­i­lant. He said heavy fines were be­ing im­posed on mo­torists, and peo­ple with re­spectable jobs were be­ing hauled be­fore the court for fail­ing the breathal­yser test. Bat­son said po­lice have stepped up the breathal­yser test.

Some im­por­tant facts

Bat­son said one should al­ways watch what they drink for the hol­i­days.

Bat­son said a shot of rum or whiskey may have the same amount of al­co­holic con­tent

as a beer or a glass of wine.

He said peo­ple should not ex­ceed more than one drink per hour and al­ways avoid con­sum­ing al­co­hol if dri­ving.
