One of my betes noires has been people "correcting" "drink driving" to "drunk driving" when it is about the UK. This is because the offence is called "drink driving" in the UK per sources such as the government and police. Knowing that Australian/NZ English usually skews closer to the British, I was surprised to see "drunk driving" nine times on this page, albeit never in a quote or a title.
On this page, "driving drunk" appears six times, mostly in titles and quotes. "Drink driving" appears twice, in titles of NZ sources.
I was just wondering, which is better out of "drunk driving" "driving drunk" or "drink driving". The NZ Transport agency uses "drink driving". [2] Other NZ sources that say drink driving: NZ Herald, AA (22x drink driving, 2x drunk driving), Stuff. It looks like both in official uses and the vernacular, Kiwis say "drink driving".

Here is a survey of NZ news sites to see which they use. Bing lists the number of results for queries so I've searched for example site:rnz.co.nz "drink driving".
RNZ:
"drink driving": 380,000 results
"drunk drivnig": 25 results
Stuff:
"drink driving": 577,000 results
"drunk driving": 19 results
1News:

Clearly you're right, so I've just gone ahead and changed "drunk driving" to "drink driving". ―Panamitsu (talk) 21:33, 21 October 2025 (UTC)
