Geektastic: As I write this, I am sat in the Kaitaki Plus lounge, observing the drinking habits of those around me. I know a number of the people drinking are driving because I saw them in the queues waiting to board.

One couple, for example, has consumed 4 glasses of wine and 4 beers so far. It's free in the lounge too.

Now, I know you could argue that it's like a pub. Except it isn't. Here, no one is getting a taxi home if they drove a vehicle onto the ship.

Seems to me time drivers were not served alcohol on board. There's not even a mention of drink driving etc.

The simple answer is NO.  I do not drink and drive, and I do not want to have such limitations imposed on me based on your (possibly questionable) observations.  I suggest you use your spare time on something more constructive.  If this was an issue (remembering that drinking and driving is a major focus of the police) then I am sure they would have done something about it now (as pointed out by other contributors to this thread).

If you don't drink and drive, how would such limitations as "time drivers were not served alcohol on board" affect you?

Because I wouldn't want a bartender mothering me by asking if I am driving every time I order a drink.

I would, if it stopped you killing yourself or someone else....
