You are encouraged to consume as much alcohol as you wish while traveling by car, unless you are taking your turn on the wheel, otherwise you as well as your tour conductors will be in trouble with the local police. Your chief conductor,.. already has enough remarkable records with the police without your additional helps to make it even more memorable from the police’s point of view.” -
