Rotarians were shocked at their breathalyser readings at tonight's Club meeting.
"They are lower than expected," one member joked.
But all joking aside, "Should You Be Driving Home Tonight?" was the question Rotarian Syd put to RC Moorleigh Moorabbin in an informative and engaging presentation about the dangers of drink driving.
"It is a question that we must ask ourselves all times when we drink and drive," he warned.
While Syd presented the facts about Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) readings, the effect of alcohol on our judgement and impairment, the information was made more real by testing the BAC of Rotarians with a breathalyser during the meeting.
Despite some Club members eagerness to be breathalysed and light-hearted comparisons of BAC readings, the seriousness of the topic was prevalent. It certainly made us think about our responsibilities behind the wheel of a car and how we owe it to ourselves, our family and community to not risk drink driving.
