Breathalysers at gigs: "People are saying, 'Oh my God, I thought I was ok, I only had one drink"

The Road Safety Authority (RSA) in Ireland is distributing breathalysers at music festivals, sports events, and other gatherings during the summer to encourage people to check their alcohol levels before driving. Over 5,830 tests have been conducted so far, with nearly half of users exceeding the legal alcohol limit of 50mg per 100ml of blood. Officials note that many individuals, especially men, underestimate their intoxication level and often delay driving after testing positive. Last year’s pilot program showed similar results, with 45% of participants believing they were under the limit but failing the test. The initiative aims to reduce drink-driving incidents, which contribute to a significant portion of fatal road accidents. The RSA plans to expand the program and evaluate its effectiveness after the summer season.
