hi jspeno, well ive just completed my third day out of four on my drink driving course and my course speaker has instructed me to go 3months with NO drink before my medical if i wanted to guarantee passing. Personally i dont have a drink problem and usually drink once during the week(2-3beers) and on fri-sat night ( maybe bottle wine and few pints) pretty average id say, ive been doing this about 8months now, before i used to drink a bit more but nothing over the top. The medical people are suppose to contact you about 6weeks before you get license back so if you minus 6weeks from the date you get your license back, then 3months, you apparently will pass everytime, a pain in the **** i know but worth it in the end. As long as you havnt had serious alcohol abuse in the past and you stick to what i said above, this(i have been instructed)WILL pass you. I understand people have given up for much less time than 3months and still passed but you can never be sure??? Everyones liver is different at how quick it metabolises and i think you may be playing with fire if you keep drinking so i wouldnt chance it, whats three months when you can drink for a lifetime there after.?..............
