Alcohol News

23/9/11

Alcohol concern Cymru has this week warned drinkers to avoid mixing alcohol with energy drinks. Energy drinks have become increasingly popular recently and in some pubs are being used as mixers for spirits.

The problem is that the caffeine in these drinks can mask some of the effects of the alcohol making drinkers think they are less drunk than they actually are.

Also caffeine and alcohol are both diuretics and can cause severe dehydration when used in combination.

Irish crash drivers to face breath test

All drivers involved in accidents will face mandatory breath-testing for alcohol — regardless of whether or not they were responsible for the crash — under new road safety legislation.

The Department of Transport has confirmed that the Road Traffic Bill, due to be published this spring, will provide for the compulsory testing of all drivers involved in a collision.

The Best Breathalyser for under £100.00

12/9/08

Modern breathalyser design trends are all towards pre-calibrated, clip in clip out sensor units. These offer the very real advantage of never having to send the breathalyser for repeated calibration services, which for some very frequent testers could be as frequent as 2-3 months. Without service or replacement the accuracy of the breathalyser is lost over time and testing.

Our recommended best buy in this price range is the AL7000 Breathalyser, sold in North America as the Alcomate Phoenix Breathalyser, European models are unbranded Al7000 breathalysers but the design and features are identical.

The AL7000 breathalyser features an integral Prism sensor, the most modern and reportedly most robust semi-conductor sensor on the market. The AL7000 also has the easiest to change sensor access of any breathalyser, making sensor changes, fast and simple via a door on the reverse of the breathalyser, (no screws or catches to release)

Accuracy is directed towards lower alcohol level detection with manufacturers quoted +/-0.005% BAC at 0.050% BAC reducing to +/- 0.01% BAC at 0.010%BAC. This makes it an ideal breathalyser for users expecting and wishing to measure in the 0.000 to 0.050 levels of alcohol in blood and requiring high confidence and accuracy within this band (current UK HSE level at time of writting is 0.020%BAC so this includes most employment testers)

The AL7000 Breathalyser also incorporates comprehensive flow checking technology to ensure readings are only displayed for adequate 5 second deep breath samples. (indicates FLO is not met)

Error and sensor testing are also in-built with the AL7000 indicating error codes specific for fast diagnostic correction. The AL7000 breathalyser also indicates to the user total numer of tests conducted and will instruct you when a replacement sensor is required.

The calibration stability of Prism sensors is the best of all semi-conductor sensors and spare sensors can be purchased with the digital breathalyser with confidence that they should not deteriorate prior to installation.

Other consumables include a choice of standard mouth piece tubes and professional uni-directional valve mouth pieces. The professional mouth pieces also help reduce contamination and blockage of the airflow, entending sensor life expectancy.

The AL7000 Breathalyser was introduced in 2007 and is expected to be in production for between 5 and 8 years. All consumables for this breathalyser should be available for at least 10 years.

The AL7000 Breathalyser is an NHS contract breathalyser.

Guide to low alcohol booze

23/8/08

Read this intersting article and thought I would share it with you. It is by John Naish from The Times August 23, 2008 . There are some very useful recomendations for low alcohol drinks to try if you click on the link.

'We're all told to drink less but finding tasty lower-strength wine and beer is tougher than you think

There are many ways to make a barman eye you suspiciously, but one of the most effective is to ask him whether he stocks moderately alcoholic beer. Not non-alcoholic, just low. Moderation in all things may be a virtue, but it's damned difficult in our culture of rocket-fuel booze, as I found on my attempt to spend a week drinking only wine with single-figure alcohol content and beer with less than 4 per cent.

Why the mission? I'm a gregarious creature who believes that time spent socialising in bars is never wasted. And I enjoy having a good libation while holding forth. But that doesn't make me a drunk. I'd begun to notice, however, how in recent years my hangovers have worsened and my pre-slurring capacity has shrunk shomewhat. I blamed this on advancing age - until I started looking at the labels.

Over the past 20 years the alcohol levels of our drinks have steadily spiralled. Consumer culture, with its promise that more of anything is always better, has boosted the befuddling powers of our booze, to the point where one small 330ml bottle of Carlsberg lager can be enough to put a woman over her government-recommended limit of three units a day.'

Doctors target cheap booze as Tesco makes 'U-turn' from Times Online

21/2/08

Doctors target cheap booze as Tesco makes 'U-turn'
21 February 2008 Times Online Philippe Naughton

The UK's two biggest supermarket groups were in open competition today to talk tough on binge drinking as leading doctors called for stronger Government action against the "epidemic" of alcohol abuse.

Tesco, the market leader, said that its chief executive, Sir Terry Leahy – described by one Labour MP last December as "the godfather of British binge drinking" – had personally discussed the issue with the Prime Minister and promised to work with others in the industry to tackle the problem.

Tesco pointed out that competition law prevented retailers from any discussion of prices between themselves, meaning that Government would have to take the lead in developing "responsible pricing" policies.

But only hours after Tesco issued a statement on the issue, Asda, the country's No 2 supermarket group, announced that it was ready to unveil and go ahead with its own measures against under-age drinking without any need for lengthy debate.

In a hard-hitting study released today, the British Medical Association said that Britain was "in the midst of an epidemic" of alcohol abuse.

The BMA pointed to alarming statistics on how much UK youngsters, particularly teenage girls, drink. British teenagers are among the most likely in Europe to report heavy drinking and being intoxicated

One drink and you’re over !

15/6/07

'One drink and you’re over: drivers face lower limit to cut road deaths' Ben Webster, Transport Correspondent The Times June 15, 2007

Motorists could find themselves over the alcohol limit after just one drink under a proposal to bring Britain’s drink-drive law into line with the rest of Europe.

The Government is considering lowering the limit from 80mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood to 50mg and later this year will publish a consultation paper to gauge opinion. With a 50mg limit, most people would be able to consume only one 175ml glass of standard-strength wine or half a pint of strong beer and remain legally fit to drive.

The Department for Transport has rejected calls by the British Medical Association and the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) for a lower limit. It wanted police to focus on those well over the existing limit, who were most likely to cause a crash.

But ministers have been embarrassed by a series of studies showing that Britain is lagging behind the rest of Europe in tackling drink-driving. All the other main European countries have lowered their limits either to 50mg or 20mg. The Irish Republic and Luxembourg are still on 80mg but have indicated that they will move to 50mg.

The number of people killed in drink-drive crashes in Britain has risen by more than a fifth in the past seven years, from 460 in 1999 to 560 in 2005. Over the same period, Germany and the Netherlands have reduced drink-drive deaths by more than 50 per cent.

Research by University College London found that lowering the limit to 50mg would prevent an estimated 65 deaths and 230 injuries a year in Britain. It would also save the economy £119 million a year by reducing medical costs and lost working time.
