Drunk man crashes car into another and kills a person, refuses alcohol test. The prosecution stays the charges (decides not to proceed with the trial).
What? How?
Driving allows people to do terrible things that they'd be convicted of if they did it any other way outside of a car.
In Scotland, for some unaccountable reason, we have many words meaning "drunk" including bleized, bluitert, bladdered, bungfu, chackit, fleein, fou, fuddelt, hammered, jaked, mingin, rairie, reekin, stottin, stotious, stovin and many more. But one, "steamin", has an interesting origin.
In 1841, a law was passed in Scotland limiting the sale of #alcohol in an attempt to curb the growing issues of alcoholism. The law stated that only a "bona fide'" traveller could purchase alcohol on a Sunday for their "comfort".
Two weeks after the law was passed, pleasure steamers began the first Clyde Cruises on a Sunday where it was possible to partake of strong #beer and #whisky. The original "booze cruise".
"Steamin", meaning drunk, enters the vocabulary.
