Different perspectives

I got in a car tonight with someone who had just drunk several beers. Over the limit (whatever that is here)? Quite possibly. In the UK I would have refused to get in the car. But here I did. Ok, he was my boss, but does that make any difference? Strange how so many people drink and drive here. The whole attitude is completely different. Not in a good way I think. Anyway I got a train home and felt much happier with that. Assuming the driver wasn't pissed of course.
