This sort of behaviour tends to be ignored on here.

No, it really isn’t.
Very sad if he did actually lose his wife & therefore turned to alcohol as a result.
“He sounded as if he was drunk and rambling.”
Mr O’Neill added: “He was asked to provide a specimen of breath, but he told officers that he had chest pains.
“He was then asked to give a blood sample but he said he had a phobia of needles.”
The court heard that Turton told officers at the scene he had been drinking.
However, Tom Brymer, mitigating, said Turton had made the comments as a joke.
Mr Brymer said: “Inside his lorry, he had stored alcohol that he had received from people at Christmas.
“When the vehicle crashed it smashed all over him and made him smell of alcohol.
“We cannot prove he was drinking that night as no sample was made.”

Chest pains, phobia of needles, spill drink and joke about drinking, got it.

There seems to be plenty on here who seem to think there’s no problem having a skin full at a truckstop on a night out then cracking on 4/5hrs later.
