Some car owners are convinced that they should drive onto the roadway 12 hours after taking the intoxicating drug. However, this is not entirely true. To be precise: not at all. Not only does alcohol have a cumulative effect in the body, but different alcoholic beverages also ‘weather’ differently. Moreover: the physiological characteristics of a person play an important role. Therefore, before getting behind the wheel, you should consider not only the time that has passed since drinking alcohol, but also the type and amount of alcohol you drink.
Bad breath gets worse as the chemicals caused by drinking alcohol build up, and each of us experiences this process differently. Much depends on metabolism, resistance to the perception of alcohol and the speed with which its insidious properties are broken down. An important role is played by the functioning of the vascular system, liver, stomach and lungs, as well as body weight. As you might guess, the more weight, the less drunk a person becomes. However, after a few days of active “rest” at the table, even the most diligent sumo wrestler will get tired.
Of course, the strength of the drink affects the effectiveness of the exhaled air, and the stronger it is, the longer and more intense the smell of vapors. Let’s look at a few examples of the most popular types of holiday drinks. So, when 100 g of “white” is consumed by a person weighing less than 90 kg, the aroma disappears after about 4-5 hours. But after drinking 300 g of the same vodka, a person of the same weight should definitely not drive a car until 12-13 hours later. If the procedure is repeated daily, albeit with a break for sleep and a good snack, then it is guaranteed that you will be able to get behind the wheel only after 14-15 hours.
In the same way, if not more popular among our brother, cognac takes even longer to be eliminated from the body. For example, 100 grams of this drink will evaporate in about six hours in a person weighing 90 to 110 kg. How long it will take to feel like a driver again, by systematically increasing the dose, is not difficult to understand through simple mathematical calculations, without forgetting the other factors mentioned above.
It is noteworthy that due to the slow metabolism of the fairer sex, alcohol takes a little longer to disappear. The same 100 grams of cognac for a woman weighing less than 60 kg will allow her to get behind the wheel no earlier than seven hours, and for a lady weighing less than 70 kg, within six hours. The situation is comparable with whisky, which is available in different variants and strengths: from 37 to 65.5 degrees. Like moonshine, after drinking it is contraindicated to go out before 12-14 o’clock.
As for the New Year’s drink itself, 100 g of champagne is broken down in 1 hour in the body of an average and healthy man, and for women – again – it will take more than 2-2.5 hours to remove the “effervescent” vapors . In general, arm yourself with a calculator before you decide to hit the road behind the wheel of your car. Let us remind you that for driving a car under the influence, a fine of 30,000 rubles is imposed, as well as deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle for up to two years. Happy New Year, comrades!
