Yeah I don’t think to many people go out with the intention of actually drink driving. Thing is as everyone knows when you have a beer it’s hard not to have a second, or a third and before you know it in that position of will I or won’t I risk it.
Lloris arrested for drink driving

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
5.2%, but you get 440ml, 500ml and pint cans. Massive minefield and that's before you get to the morning dangers.
Maybe he will need a driver for a while.
These footballers are scum. One of the worst was Rio - he got done for speeding about 3-4 times and DUI when he was at West Ham. Some people will try and turn a blind eye on club allegiance but so many of these guys are absolute wrong'uns and deserve the same level of punishment as the average Joe.
Okay so a pint of Stella is around 1.5 units of alcohol. Two pints of that would put a 75 kg man just under the legal limit in England 1 hour after consumption.
It’s hard not to agree TBH, but we really have no idea what these guys feel or think. Hugo in my eyes was one of the good ones, model pro, club and natiaonal captain but really they live a lifestyle none of us could imagine, but to them it’s normality. They have no idea what it’s like for most of us. They will be prone to the same problems as most of us and while Hugo deserves all he gets I do have a tinge oF feeling for his predicament.
It doesn’t work like that, diet and personal metabolism comes into play. That’s why the UK “limit” needs to be revised, you have no idea if you have any alcohol what you blood level is like.
It does work like that, but only as a very general guideline. Of course you can't rely on a guideline for whether it's safe to drive or not, but a BAC calculator does give some rough indication of where you're at. The limit in England is ridiculous, we can agree on that. Driving one hour after having 2 pints of 5% beer (or, say, 4 hours after 4 pints) is a very bad idea, that should be made very clear for everyone.
Are people really trying to argue that drink drive limit needs changing because Hugo Lloris got done?
Everyone knows the law. Everyone can make choices. I personally don't drive when I've had a drink at all. Not sure why anyone would to be honest.

I can't understand average blokes not getting a taxi, uber or just walking let alone the millionaires. They should face a harsher penalty in my view not an easier penalty ffs
I said £50k plus. I don’t know what he earns, but it’ll be in excess of £50k like I said. But footballers never seem to learn and their lawyers keep them from doing time, so it’ll continue...
If he knows he going to have a drink why did he drive? People know the law and I think the majority of people these days accept if you want a drink you get a taxi.
He’s rich and has absolutely no excuse. Even if he’s had one glass, which I doubt.
Who stays out til 2.30am for dinner? He also wasn't with his wife. Check the below instagram. He looks well on it.
He is an idiot, there is just no excuse for this.
being rich can get you out even from killing people.
I mean, he could have even had a glass of wine 2 nights before and still been over the legal limit.
We’ll just never know guys. We’ll just never know.

Over twice the limit apparently

Hugo Lloris: Tottenham goalkeeper admits drink-driving
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-45482366
Over double the limit, drove at 15mph all over the road and then straight through a red light. Cops found him out of it in the car with vomit everywhere.
Bloody disgraceful.

He's just lucky he didn't injure or kill anyone.
"He was fined £50,000..." - that'll show him 
"When sentencing, the magistrate said the fine represented the seriousness of the offence as well as the goalkeeper's financial means." - what, ~half a week's salary?

Did he lose his license? (Can't open the article atm).
Banned from driving for 20 months as well as the fine.
Very much so.
I'm interested to see what those querying this at the time have to say? He was clearly off his head and should have known better.
Interesting, I wonder what the ban and fine would be for a regular person, obviously 50k is about 50% of his weeks wage.
Around the same length of time and about £300-400. I know a few that have been done for it.
Only twice the limit and throwing up, what a lightweight.
Could've spent some of that 50K on a taxi instead.
Yeah it's hard to understand why he wouldn't have just got a taxi.
I can understand it if he's 19 or in his early 20s, but at 31 he really should know better. Perhaps he just has bad friends. Either way, it's hard to make excuses for him.
Punishment doesn't seem severe enough for me. Barely a slap on the wrist. The fine is absolutely nothing to him; pocket change. Pissed out of his head, put every other fecker on the road at danger, and he'll be back to making clangers on the weekend.
Awesome.
Awesome.
I think i read a few years ago that he is apparently a bit of a genius, also has a high IQ and would have studied Mathematics if not being a pro. he is still a human after all.
Seems about right then, maybe 50k was a little lenient, problem is for a normal person to lose their license for 20 months could ruin them, whereas Hugo could hire a chauffeur.
Yeah I could do this many times a week if I would only have to pay my Monday and Tuesday wages for this.
He probably spent more on his night out with his friends.

The law is not arbitrary and rightfully so - there are minimum and maximum fines for a reason, and a judge can't be blamed if he adheres to those rules.
If you want a harsher punishment for such cases of filthy rich footballers getting a relatively low fine, it's up to the Premier League or FA to implement those fines like it's the case in the NBA or NFL for example.

I imagine Spurs will fine him as well, they should also strip him of the captaincy as his actions are disgusting and he shouldn't be seen as a role model.
I hope the players also have lost respect for him, as I know I would if any of my work colleagues had done the same.

Is there?
The Fins have solved this, they fine people according to their income.

It´s fair and easy.
Is that fair? I'd say it's quite discriminatory that another person gets fined half of what I get for the same offence.
They live in their own bubble. He's not the first and won't be the last. Morality in football is non existent - Joey Barton got pundit gigs and is a manager. Collymore hit his wife. Terry cheated on his team mate, was guilty of racism and is celebrated. Giggs is an absolute wrongun for what he did yet we talk about him being future manager - I don't respect him as an outsider but in football you brush it aside.
That's exactly why it's fair....
A fine isn't a fine if it has no impact on you. Despite your humble brag of "Why should he get fined less than me, for I earn so much". That is the best and fairest solution. For a person earning minimum wage who perhaps can barely afford his £400 a month rent, a fine of £20,000 would bankrupt them. A footballer earning £150,000 a week, well £20,00 is absolute pittance and is no deterrent not to commit the crime again.
Then broaden the scope of your minimum and maximum fine and trust the judge's ability to render an apt punishment.That's exactly why it's fair....

You paint a pretty picture but what if I work a shitty job 50 hours a week to earn £3000 while the person earning half of what I earn is a lazy sod with an easy 9-5 office job? Fair solution my ass. You'd also be getting into territory of punishing someone based on their abilities.
What would an appropriate fine be here?"He was fined £50,000..." - that'll show him
