The penalties for drunk driving are becoming more severe every year. If earlier you could have been issued a tidy fine, today you are deprived of your driver's license for such a violation.
Instructions
Step 1
Not every driver knows how long it takes to remove alcohol from the body. It is for this reason that many motorists were deprived of their rights - alcohol was still present in the blood at the time of the breathalyzer test. If back in 2003 the level of permissible blood alcohol content was 0.5 ppm, today it should be no more than 0.
Step 2
The time for elimination of alcohol in the blood directly depends on how much you drank, the strength of the drink and your body weight.
Step 3
Usually, the amount of alcohol consumed is measured in portions. Each drink has a different portion. For example, 1 serving of vodka is equal to 50 grams; cognac - 100; and beer - half a liter. The fewer drinks you drink, the faster you can get behind the wheel.
Step 4
If you drink 1 portion of vodka, cognac, beer, port wine, dry wine, you will be able to drive the car again after 2 hours. If the number of servings is increased (2, 3, 4, 5 and more), then the time for removing alcohol from the body will be 4, 6, 9, 11 and 13 hours, respectively. Such terms are reliable for people weighing 70-80 kilograms. In thin people, the remnants of alcohol from the blood will go much longer (up to 16 hours inclusive).
Step 5
If you need to go somewhere the next day, and today is some kind of holiday, then you can drink, but no more than 2-3 servings of a drink (any).
Step 6
Despite the exact number of hours obtained during the calculation, you will need to take into account your condition first. If you have a headache and some other hangover symptoms, then it is better not to drive.
