I was looking at a driver-story over at Focus today....where the topic of drinking and driving came up.
The TÜV folks went and conducted a poll on how Germans feel in favor of or against a total and absolute ban on alcohol.
So, the shocker?
Roughly 80-percent said total ban on alcohol was OK with them. Yeah, there was a difference here between men and women....fewer guys felt this was the way to go (76-percent).....while women felt it was a great idea (85-percent).
Is this a big deal? I would say that forty years ago....it was fairly common for German guys to stop on the way home to have two beers. Today....out of a hundred guys....there might be five guys who stop (maybe once a month) and have a beer on the way home.
People tend to drink at home, or walk from their house to the local pub.
As for a full ban on alcohol and driving? I don't see how it'd come to work. Most folks who do eat out.....have a glass of wine or a single beer....with their dinner.
