Dave A im with you mate, But i dont drink at all well not for last 7 Years wast of time and money in my oppinion.
If ur drinking and driving well, i think it should be a prison stay to be honest.

Danger to yourself and every other road user

I know someone that just got out of prison for drink driving and causing a death.. (he had just passed his test weeks or days before)
He crashed his car about 300 yards down the road from the car park with passangers and one of them sadly died! She was a friend of my girlfriends at work. Infact it was 2 years yesterday this happened. I went to school with her sister!
The work place has never realy been the same since this happened! the 2 managers got suspended/sacked for letting the lad drive in such a state and for under age drinking! (It was a staff party so it wasnt in the pub)
Dont want to go into too much detail because it is upsetting! I my self have driven the day after drinking (I dont drink too much anyway but i cant handle my booze)
I just dont drink what so ever from now on, its horrible and a waste of money)

tbh if you go down the pub either drink soft drinks, water. That what i do...so much cheaper 
Or if you are going out for a few. leave you car in the car park or even better dont take it at all to save temptation 
I have friends that drink drive and they know there doing it, but they still seem to think thats its ok , gets to me sometimes.
If you drive in the morning i always make sure that ive had a good meal and wait till lunchtime before i get behind the wheel

TBH i dont think any insurance companies will be alright with you after you having a ban..
I know a lad that got a 28 day ban i think it was for wheelying his bike infront of coppers on a crossroad..
Insuring his car now with the ban on costs him summat like a grand more expensive no matter who he is with.
