Drunken journey to see glowworms after boozy flightMARK TAYLOR FAIRFAX NZ A reading of 953 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath led Gang Zhao to the Hamilton District Court on Monday morning. A tourist who got drunk while travelling on a plane to New Zealand was caught by police driving through Otorohanga the next day, at nearly four times the legal driving limit. Carson said it was possible the high altitude of the aircraft Zhao travelled on may have had an impact on the level of his inebriation. It wasn't Zhao's first drink driving incident in New Zealand. She fined Zhao $1500 with $130 in court costs, and disqualified him from driving for nine months.
