TL;DR – Is it drink driving or drunk driving?
It all started with this post on Twitter by our local newspaper The Straits Times,
Car crashes into tree along Braddell Road, driver arrested for suspected drink driving https://t.co/1V5NSYO7SZ pic.twitter.com/ig11B8E27q

Which Twitter user (and American) Don Lovell replied to and tried to correct the publication that it should be “drunk driving”.
Because American.
It appears that Lovell has deleted his tweets and Twitter account.
Presumably because of the backlash that soon arrived with this reply by The Straits Times which has since been retweeted 869 times.
We use British English. Where English comes from. Thanks and have a good day.
