UAE Drink Driving
Just a quick one - if you consume alcohol of any kind, I assume driving must be out for that day, and maybe the next, given the limits are ZERO ? How does anyone ever manage to have a beer or two, legally, and then get to work the next day....

If they don't smell it on you then you are safe, but accidents that happen at night there are big chances of blood tests
I drink and drive almost everyday, as long as i can control it and doesn't endanger me or others then its fine.
