Disabled man in an electric wheelchair was refused a third beer by bar staff - because of drink-driving laws. Also because he ordered Budweiser, which is a true test of mental retardation

A disabled man in an electric wheelchair was refused a third beer by pub bar staff – because of drink-driving laws.

Lee Cook, 33, was told that his limit was two bottles of Budweiser at the Stick or Twist pub in Leeds.

The cerebral palsy sufferer, whose wheelchair has a top speed of 4mph, said: ‘I was flabbergasted and upset. I’m angry and I want an apology.

‘If I was going to go out and get behind the wheel of a car, then obviously I could understand it, but the fact is, I wasn’t.

‘I had only had two bottles of beer. It’s not as if I was steaming drunk.’
