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.
