In the UK you can drive with 80mg per unit. So that presumably is safe- right? Otherwise it would be less.

Flying is quite a bit easier than driving, but the UK limit on flying is 20 mg.

Which is 25% of that which a UK citizen is judged to be perfectly safe and legal behind the wheel of a Ferrari.
Here below the driving limits for the various European Countries...as you can see UK is well above the average of Europe...

0.0 per mg – Estonia, Malta, Romania, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary
0.2 per mg – Norway, Poland, Sweden
0.4 per mg - Lithuania
0.5 per mg - Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Germany (Germany is 0.3 if you’re in an accident), Finland, France, Greece, Italy, Serbia/Montenegro, Croatia, Latvia, Macedonia, Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey, Cyprus (North)
0.8 per mg – UK, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, Switzerland
0.9 Cyprus (South)
