sn00p addict Registered: 24/07/2002 Posts: 618 Loc: South London	Quote: Quote: Drink Driving vs Drunk Driving This is the only one that actually bothers me. Why is it said that way in the UK? "Drunk driving" makes sense: you're driving while drunk. "Drink driving" sounds like you make your living driving a beverage truck...or lorry. Because you're driving after you've had a drink. You could be convicted of drink-driving without actually being drunk.
