To put it in perspective,. the drink drive limit in England is 80Mg per 100Ml of blood.
The much more restrictive limit in Scotland is 50Mg per 100 Ml of blood, which amounts to about a half pint an hour prior.

49Mg per 100ml blood is really very low indeed. He almost certainly consumed the alcohol well before and probably was neither impaired or smelling of alcohol.
It's not ok, the law is the law and to be honest drinking at all while down route isn't wise or necessary but has been vastly blown out of proportion by the media.

It's a shame he's lost his career over this but the law is the law and it should be a warning to all of us that the limit is so low.
