Police in Germany are warning motorists that sucking a Fishermen's Friend could get them into trouble.
It comes after a 24-year-old driver was found to be over the legal drink-drive limit during a routine control in Munich.
He was taken to the police station where blood tests found he had no alcohol in his system.
The man was released after officers found the strongest thing he had taken was a Fisherman's Friend.
Forensic doctor Thomas Gilg said the essential oils contained in the throat sweets reacted in the same way as alcohol on hand-held breathalysers.
He said in tests they found just three of the mentholated sweets could cause a motorist to test three times over the legal limit.

just three of the mentholated sweets could cause a motorist to test three times over the legal limit That's extreme. What if I just wanted to register two times over the legal limit? Is there any formula that could help me determine how many mentholated sweets I would need?
To: Red Badger
Sucking a Fishermen's Friend could get you into trouble depends on which friend it is.

They're all over the place. Very strong. My dachshund once ate a whole tin of them that he found in my car. Quite an accomplishment! Cured his dog-breath for a bit, that's for sure.
Monica Lewinsky used to pop one after sucking on the Chinese Military's friend.
