MAN LOSES LICENSE for telling doctor he drank 6-pack a day

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor..._pack_driver_1


A man who lost his driving privileges after his doctor reported to police that he drank a six-pack of beer a day is taking his fight to a higher court.



Keith Emerich, 44, asked Commonwealth Court to overturn the state Department of Transportation's decision to revoke his license.


A Lebanon County Common Pleas judge upheld the decision, but ruled that Emerich may obtain restricted driving privileges as long as he uses a device that tests his blood-alcohol content before starting his car.


Emerich, 44, a printing company employee, was notified in April he would lose his license, about two months after he disclosed his drinking habit to doctors treating him for an irregular heartbeat.


A Pennsylvania law from the 1960s requires doctors to report any impairments in patients that could compromise their ability to drive safely.


Emerich has said he does not drive drunk and argued that he has reduced his beer drinking to weekends and has a clean driving record apart from a drunk-driving conviction when he was 21
