VA:
The pilot would give evidence that he'd had two vodka, lime and sodas, shared a bottle of red wine, and another three glasses of wine, before going to bed at 10pm the night before.
and
The pilot....argued that the amount he drank was not capable of giving such a high reading the next morning.
Whereas the AA pilot
"....did have some drinks, but the only thing he can suggest to explain this is that he had some unfamiliar beers, which were stronger than those he was used to.
I wonder how the Australian argument would have gone down in the English court?
