Pubs suffered the double blow of anti-smoking law, plus more people drinking at home because of drink driving. It will happen in Slovenia too, but not before more people die.<br><br>But the law is the law, and I find Slovene police to be better than other forces at enforcing it. I've been stopped for an alko-test 3 times in 7 years. Even after 1 beer or 1 glass of wine, say an hour earlier, I came up 0.0. My limit is always one, though I agree with you, none would be better.
