Drinkers stay off the roads


Responsible drinkers: With hefty fines imposed by the government, many partygoers would rather take a taxi or use an ehailing service than drive themselves. — Kamarul Ariffin/The Star

PETALING JAYA: David Tan considers himself a heavy drinker. In fact, he claims he needs about 15 drinks before he gets really drunk.

Between 2016 and 2019, David had several run-ins with the law for drink driving. But not anymore. Now, he either drinks at home or uses a buddy driver application to book a chauffeur whenever he goes out for drinks.
