The motor insurance industry and safety campaigners are warning that even having just one drink can greatly increase the chances of having a road accident.
Seasonal drink driving campaigns have always concentrated on drivers who are recklessly over the limit.
But party goers are being warned that even spending your evening nursing a single pint of lager will seriously impair your ability to maintain control of a vehicle.
"We have said for a long, long time that drivers should not drink at all," said a spokesman for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA).
He points out that motor insurance research has shown that a driver, who has a single drink, even if they remain well below the legal limit, increases their chances of being in a fatal accident six-fold.
"We are now one of the few countries in Europe that has such a high limit," said a representative of the independent Institute of Alcohol Studies (IAS) think-tank.
"When they lowered their limit from 50mg per 100ml of blood to 20mg per 100ml of blood in Sweden, they saw a significant reduction in road accident deaths."
