The beer helps too...

Where did I go wrong? I knew I should have headed that boat south in early October - I might be divorced by now, but at least I would be warmer, and of course, the gals would be wearing less. wink

That's not familiar as a concept in Germany. It's up to the individual driver to drink no more than 1 beer (well, a Bavarian Mass might already be too much...) or to have someone sober who drives back, but nobody will ask. But I'm sure police are very strict especially during Oktoberfest season.
BTW, your picture is from the Hippodrom, I guess, it's not the biggest tent of Oktoberfest, 3,300 seats. (Edit: just checked, the Hacker Pschorr tent has 7,000 seats.)

If they wanna kill themselves that's fine,.... but when innocent people die because of it that is plainly NOT acceptable and the driver should be held liable and incarcerated to the fullest extent of the law. I see people drinking bottles of wine at dinner in restaurants all the time .......if the police stay outside any bar in the world...when someone comes out gets in their car to drive I would say 99% are above the LEGAL limit.

I often wonder what one has to drink to be over the legal limit ???
Donny, it used to be far worse years ago ... at every wedding or party there would be a bottle of rye whiskey and a bottle of scotch on every table ... I remember playing one New Year's Eve where the price of dinner for each couple included a bottle of your choice of liquor - so at a table of 8 people there were 4 bottles of liquor!!! drink

... meanwhile, back to those 'pec' muscles ... thank you, Andrea ...

They have lowered it so much that one good drink puts you over unless you wait a few hours. I may have a glass of champagne New Year's Eve, but really don't drink at all, so I'm always the DD.
My wife and my boys have all called me at one time or another to come to a restaurant or party and get them because they are afraid to chance it, even though none of the drink to excess.
