BANGKOK, Dec 31 (The Nation Thailand/ANN): If you drive while you are drunk you risk 10 years in prison and a fine of 200,000 baht, deputy government spokesperson Rachada Dhnadirek warned on Saturday, as the number of motorists arrested for drunk driving on Thursday and Friday surged 95.9% over the same two-day period last year.

Her warning was timed with the surge in arrests on the first two days of what are called the seven dangerous days for road travel.
