A
former Government chief drugs adviser who controversially claimed Ecstasy is
safer than drink has said alcohol sensors should be fitted in every car.
Professor
David Nutt said all motorists would have to breathe into a device to prove they
were not over the limit before their vehicle would start.
But
the call was today dismissed as 'impractical' by the AA.
The
controversial professor was sacked as the Government chief drugs adviser three
years ago after claiming that drink was more harmful than Ecstasy.
He
also suggested that riding a horse was more dangerous than taking the banned
Class A drug.
The
alcohol sensors plan is one of seven ways he suggests to reduce the harm caused
by alcohol in his new book, Drugs - Without The Hot Air.
Other
suggestions include shorter licensing hours, compelling pubs and supermarkets
to sell non-alcoholic lagers and beers alongside alcoholic drinks, and devising
less dangerous alternatives such as drinks which give people a moderate 'buzz'.
Prof
Nutt is president of the British Neuroscience Association and a professor at Imperial College ,
London
