The story of the 34-year-old Swindon man told on the opposite page should be a salutary lesson to all of us this Christmas.
John tried to drive his car after drinking a bottle of whisky and six pints of beer. Luckily the police caught him before he killed himself or someone else.
John was an excessive drinker. But there are people out there who think they are perfectly safe to drive after a few pints of beer. They're not.
Read the message on these pages and remember. Don't touch a drop if you're going to drive.
