Find the relevent section in the drink driving section of the traffic act/ road use act and see if its been changed........

The only other way is if a magistrate has set a precidence, which is another matter.

(not that i condone driving with ya drunk mate etc..)
Err no
Drink driving is a crime.
If you are convicted of drink driving you do get a criminal record.
Various other traffic offences are not however.
