I think I'm right in saying that in the UK, we ask for repeat Drink Drive Offenders (? two convictions in 10yrs) to have normal liver function tests before we re-issue them their licence
Must admit I wasn't aware of that, Gingernut. Seems to me it might be a bit harsh on some people ! For example, someone whose GGT and ALT are sky-high due to haemochromatosis, rather than to alcoholic excess. Presumably that rule could only be applied to anyone whose LFT's were known to have been normal prior to their convictions !
