Racerbear02 Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Following an article on BBC news the other night about safe alcohol comsumption levels, I was wondering if the French government have a similar system, I can't recall ever having seen it anywhere.

Hereford Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 In the hospital waiting room where I was waiting for an x-ray recently there was a poster with pictures of several different drinks asking "Do you know the alcohol content of these, which is highest" (in French and can't remember the actual wording). The poster said to "ask your doctor".H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 There is a publicity campaign on at the moment advising not more than three glasses of wine a day for men and two for women. To prevent well, your liver packing up I suppose. Drink driving prevention seems to focus one one person not drinking at all and him/her driving. The police do an awful lot of checks close to nightclubs/disco's every weekend. Every Sunday morning there seems to be another car crashing and all the passengers dying.

Mistral Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 For ages, there have been campaigns to get people to limit themselve to two glasses of alcohol before driving (un verre, ça passe; deux ça casse ....) BUT nobody really mentions what size these glasses are supposed to be. I know of people who complain if they are caught over the limit that they can't be because they only had two glasses of wine (which they poured themselves) with their meal. Add to this the strong belief that beer (and sometimes cider) don't count as alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Mistral says, any glasses, any drink... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
