Not sure about that, the lyrics to Mungo Jerry's "In the Summertime", which was about the same time, says "Have a drink, have a drive"... so maybe it wasn't frowned on at all.

In 1967 the breathalyser was introduced as a way of testing a person's blood alcohol level. ...Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

I find that five pints is the sweet spot for getting behind the wheel, all the traffic lights disappear and there are no other cars.Comment
