This is how long you can drive after drinking alcohol. How long does it take for alcohol to wear off and when can you get behind the wheel?

Hello, dear readers! In this article we will try to deal with the problem of drinking alcohol while driving. According to statistics, every tenth driver was caught by traffic police officers in a state. 30% managed to avoid punishment by giving a bribe, or by using the services of a competent lawyer to defend their rights in court.

The other 70%, let's say, were unlucky. Although there is a moral side, we will leave this aspect to everyone’s conscience. So how can you have fun with friends, celebrate a birthday, go to a wedding and still have a driver's license?

Dear reader! Our articles talk about typical ways to resolve legal issues, but each case is unique.

Drunk Driving Law

Let's start with the legislation. Let's figure out what the driver faces for driving in drunk to date. Since 2015, driving while intoxicated will result in deprivation of rights for a period of 1.5 to 2 years and a fine of 30,000 rubles.

For repeated violation: imprisonment for 3 years and a fine of 300,000 rubles, as well as imprisonment for up to 2 years. A compelling argument to think about before you lift a glass to your mouth. Refusal to take a breathalyzer is equivalent to the driver admitting that he is drunk. If you have handed over your vehicle to a person in a state of alcohol intoxication a fine of 30 thousand rubles is also imposed.

How many ppm are allowed?

I'd like to note, permissible norm alcohol in ppm is only 0.16 in exhaled air and 0.35 in the blood.

How long does alcohol last?

If you really decide that you can’t do without alcohol, you should pay attention to the drink you drink. Each alcoholic drink has its own time period after which it is completely eliminated from the body.

I’ll give an example based on a weight of 80 kg and a volume of 0.5 liters drunk: vodka 16-19 hours, beer (up to 4 degrees) 40-50 minutes, beer (strong) 1-4 hours, champagne 6 hours, red wine 6.5 hours, cognac 24 hours.

It is worth taking into account your physical and mental state, the availability of snacks and the ambient temperature.

If your weight is less than 80 kg, feel free to multiply the time by 0.7. There is an average coefficient of alcohol removal from the body in men - 0.15 ppm per hour, and in women - 0.10 at ideal conditions. You should not 100% trust the data given above. Since the specific behavior of the body after drinking alcohol is individual for each person.

Foods and drinks that increase ppm

Many of us don't drink alcohol at all, but be careful, there are foods and drinks that can greatly increase your blood alcohol level.

Here is a list of especially undesirable drinks to drink before traveling: non-alcoholic beer will add from 0.1 to 0.4 ppm, koumiss - 0.4, yesterday's kefir or yogurt - 0.2, kvass is no less dangerous 0.3-0.6, fruit juice (since alcohol concentrate is used ) up to 0.4.

Let's move on to the products: chocolate (10 candies) – 0.1; lollipops (for example, “Rondo”) – 0.1; cake (for example “rum baba”) up to 0.3; orange (1 piece) – 0.17; slightly overripe bananas – 0.22; black bread -0.2 ppm. Don't forget about medications: in a mouth freshener - 0.3; alcohol-containing medications (20-40 drops) – 0.1; various tinctures up to 0.2.

Just thinking about alcohol, the level rises from 0.1 to 1.2; and smoking a cigarette increases it to 0.2. If you are completely sure that there is no alcohol in your body, insist on a repeat test, or, as a last resort, be sure to take a blood test. They have no right to refuse you this.

Don’t forget to ask the employee for the certification paper for the device (breathalyzer). If the result is negative, you can demand compensation for moral damages using a competent and experienced lawyer.

Most often, people are content to cross themselves and exhale, thank fate, jump into the car and forget about this incident forever.

The rate of intoxication and why it depends

There are a number of factors that influence the speed and duration of intoxication. First: The change in time zone is explained by metabolic processes occurring in the liver. Second: the alcohol level will be much higher if you are unwell, be it common cold or something more serious (associated with an increase in body temperature).

Third: if you play sports and miss training for a long time (loss of muscle mass). Fourth: weight loss (decreasing the amount of water in the body). Fifth: age, the younger the body, the easier it is for it to cope and process alcohol. Sixth: fatigue and insomnia (alcohol increases side effects fatigue, slowing alertness and reaction). You should pay attention to general state your body, sometimes it’s enough just to get a good night’s sleep.

Emergency methods for removing alcohol from the body

But what to do if a person has been drinking and needs to get behind the wheel as quickly as possible? It all depends on the degree of alcohol intoxication. At any stage there are a number of recipes for accelerated sobering up. Let's start, perhaps, with the most necessary and effective: take about 1 liter of water room temperature, lightly salt it and add a teaspoon of baking soda, mix well.

Next we drink the entire volume. If nausea appears, do not fight it; this is the effect we wanted to achieve. The result is a clean stomach and intestines. If possible, try to find more on fresh air and don't even think about smoking! To increase the tone of the nervous system, the following will help: a cold shower, massage of the feet or ears, chewing bay leaf

, teeth cleaning.

It is recommended to engage in intellectual activity (solving crosswords, solving problems, learning something). A regular cup of strong black tea or coffee won't hurt. Add ginger and honey to tea to enhance the effect. Fruits containing fructose and carbohydrates will also help cope with the removal of excess alcohol from the body.

An effective way would be to visit a sauna or bathhouse and drink plenty of fluids. This method is only suitable for people with good health and strong cardiovascular system ! One of the main and the best means

- this is a dream. A sound and long sleep can work wonders; the body itself cleanses itself, using all its systems and organs.

How to control the amount you drink Having once wrestled with hangover syndrome

, many people wonder how to drink so that they don’t get sick after the fun? There are two options: either not to drink, or to drink, but know when to stop. Simply put, learn to control yourself and monitor the amount you drink. Here are some tips: Try to define a norm for yourself. How to do it?

After stopping 5-6 times at such a moment, the brain will develop a reflex, and you will automatically stop without even thinking about it. Don’t forget to have a good snack, but not a banal salad, but a serious meal (meat, fish, vegetable dishes, etc.) large quantities fats). The consumption of energy drinks, including coffee, should be avoided.

The psychological state also significantly affects the amount of alcohol consumed. Great mood, funny company will reduce the volume of alcohol several times!

At the end of the article, I want to say, respect yourself and the people around you, especially if you are a driver. Do not drive without being completely sure of your condition! Take advantage of the tips and try not to break the rules! Remember that not only your own life is in your hands, but also the lives of the people around you! Don’t overuse alcohol, even weak ones, control yourself, don’t go too far. Try to slowly eliminate alcohol from your life altogether; there are many more options for having a good time. Be careful and good luck on the roads!

Meetings with friends, family holidays and corporate events are difficult to celebrate without drinking alcohol. What if you came to the meeting in your own car? He will have to be left until the driver sobers up completely. But sometimes it is more convenient to wait until the alcohol completes its effect.

Three AiF employees took part in the experiment. We asked two men of average build to drink vodka (350 g) and beer (1.5 liters), and the girl was offered a bottle of dry red wine from Italy (750 ml) - this is approximately how alcohol preferences are distributed among the majority.

The alcohol level was measured using a calibrated ethanol vapor analyzer Alcotest 6810 - simply put, a breathalyzer, and a professional one, exactly the one that traffic police officers use to check drivers.

We checked all the drinkers before the experiment: the device showed 0.0, which means everyone is sober as a glass! Our tester measured alcohol in mg/l (a measure of how much alcohol is in a liter of exhaled air). It is in this mode that police meters operate; do not try to find ppm on their screens (in the photographs on the device screen - mg/l - Ed.). But for the convenience of readers, we have converted all the numbers into the usual ppm (this is not difficult to do, because 1 ppm in the blood corresponds to approximately 0.45 mg/l in exhaled air).

On the Internet you can find a huge number of schemes for calculating the removal of all kinds of alcohol from the body and even approximate tables that suggest determining when you can get behind the wheel. You shouldn't rely on them! Our experiment completely refuted such calculations, although we specially selected average experimental subjects.

Beer

Male, 35 years old, weight 74 kg, height 178 cm.

Beer 5.4% ABV, 1.5 l

Immediately after the first glass of beer, the breathalyzer counted 0.62 ppm - this is even more than the journalist who drank wine, although it was twice as strong as beer!

The result after the second glass is 0.71 ppm, but after the third glass it is again 0.62 ppm. As narcologists explained to us, this figure is the result of the fact that beer begins to be eliminated from the blood very quickly. With the same parameters (if the same person drinks), it will dissipate faster than wine and vodka.

Within an hour, the device showed the figure with which in Italy a man would be allowed to drive - 0.48 ppm. 1.5 liters of beer were completely cleared from the blood only after 8 hours. This means that after drinking with friends in the evening after work, our correspondent could go to work while driving in the morning!

Wine

Woman, 34 years old, weight 65 kg, height 178 cm

Red dry wine ABV 12%, 750 ml

After the first glass - already 0.48 ppm! You are not allowed to drive, although many people claim that in Europe everyone drives after drinking a glass of wine with dinner. Indeed, in Belgium, Germany, Italy and a number of other countries, 0.5 ppm is acceptable. But not with us! After the second glass, the device showed 0.68 ppm. When the bottle was finished, a figure of 1.15 ppm lit up on the panel. This result indicates that the person is very drunk, his reactions and coordination of movements are impaired. Our journalist turned out to be completely sober only 12 hours after the “celebration”. In the table you can see the dynamics of alcohol output. This means that, having drunk the night before, the girl would have to go to work by subway in the morning.

Vodka

Male, 36 years old, weight 86 kg, height 176 cm

Vodka, strength 40%, 350 ml

After the first glass of vodka, the breathalyzer showed 0.8 ppm. But after the second, only 0.2 ppm was found in our investigation department editor. “Strong alcohol first reacts in the stomach, and then is absorbed into the blood,” a narcologist commented on our discovery. But after the third glass, when the hero of our experiment drank a total of 350 g of vodka, the device counted 2.75 ppm!

Strong alcohol was eliminated from our journalist’s body in the same way as wine was removed from the girl’s body. After 4 hours, 1.1 ppm remained, and after 8 hours - 0.6. After 12 hours the journalist was sober.

Experts' comments

Victor Travin, President of the College of Legal Protection of Car Owners:

I am critical of sobering up charts. Even for the same person, drinking the same amount of alcohol with the same snack, on a given day the process of removing alcohol breakdown products from the body may take different time. Obviously, for people with unique organisms and metabolism, this process will require absolutely different quantities hours. Unfortunately, now in our country, according to the law, only a person who is completely confident that there is no alcohol in his blood can drive. But calculate this using general formulas- an impossible task. I would advise motorists who often drink strong drinks to buy an expensive, high-quality breathalyzer and drive off only after checking it.

Vladimir Nuzhny, professor, doctor of medical sciences:

- The rate at which alcohol is eliminated from the body depends on the person’s gender, weight, amount of food eaten before and individual metabolism. In this experiment, the man who drank vodka turned out to be sober quite quickly. This is possible if the person did not have lunch that day. In this case, the stomach remains empty, the alcohol does not stagnate in it, passes into the intestines, is absorbed into the blood and is quickly eliminated. That is, a person will immediately become drunk and quickly sober up. If the stomach is full, the alcohol remains in it along with the food until it is digested, the person may not get drunk quickly, but this state lasts longer.

Keep in mind: the traffic police device analyzes exhaled air, not blood! This is not the same indicator. It happens that alcohol is detectable in the air, but not in the blood. If you take vodka into your mouth and spit it out, the alcohol will remain in the exhaled air for another 20 minutes. If you drink a medicine containing alcohol (valerian, Corvalol), the breathalyzer will show alcohol in the exhaled air, although there will be no alcohol in the blood - the alcohol will oxidize in the stomach and will not enter the blood. A tolerance of 0.2-0.3 ppm is needed not so that a person can drink while driving, but to avoid instrument errors and errors associated with the metabolism of people with abnormal high level endogenous (natural. - Ed.) alcohol.

How soon can you drive after drinking alcohol? Almost all citizens drink alcohol to a certain extent - this is an element modern society. Drinking 150 grams in garage cooperatives, at home, or in a restaurant is a common occurrence after long trips, dealing with work and personal issues.

Often the next morning, many people need to go somewhere in their car, so you should clearly understand when you can drive after drinking alcohol. After all, driving while intoxicated is the hardest thing administrative violation, which may, in the event of a traffic accident, entail criminal penalty.

Therefore, it is better to prevent any negative results in advance. The article will cover this issue in detail, identifying all the nuances and subtleties that should be taken into account in this situation.

How to determine the level of alcohol intoxication of a driver

When a person drives a car while drunk or is driving with a hangover– he turns not only into a delinquent, but into a potential criminal.

Almost half of all road accidents are caused by drunk drivers, resulting in death or serious injury to road users or pedestrians.

The state and law enforcement agencies purposefully conduct information campaigns, preventive measures, carry out raids and operations on highways in order to reduce the percentage of accidents involving drunken motorists.

The first person to spot a drunk person driving is the traffic police inspector, who is on duty.

When a passing car begins to make unusual maneuvers, exceeds the speed limit, or violates any other traffic rules, these are grounds for stopping it and, accordingly, attracting the police’s attention to the driver.

What features in human behavior will a traffic police officer first pay attention to when stopping a car:

• incoherent or excessive speech;
• slow reaction of the pupils of the eyes;
• smell of alcohol from the mouth;
• unsteady gait.

These signs give legal grounds check a citizen for alcohol content in his blood.

How does this procedure happen? The driver removes himself from the controls, then breathes into a breathalyzer - a special device that shows the concentration of alcohol in the inhaled air.

If the device detects its presence, then in the presence of two witnesses, the traffic police officer fills out a protocol indicating the readings of the device and the circumstances of the incident. Then the offender is introduced to this document and asked to sign it.

If the person agrees with the testimony, signs, he is released, the car is sent to the impound lot, and the protocol is sent to the court to decide on the punishment of the culprit.

If the driver disagrees with the conclusions set out in the document, the inspector fills out a protocol on sending him for examination at a medical institution - narcology.

There, the offender will have a blood test taken to determine the alcohol content. The resulting conclusion (signed by a doctor) and protocols will be sent from the traffic police to the court.

Note! The driver’s refusal to undergo a breathalyzer test or a drug test is an offense under Art. 12.26 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. Therefore, responsibility will still come.

Threshold values ​​when rights will not be deprived

The human body is the most complex “mechanism” on the planet. The effect of alcohol affects each person differently. Someone can drink 200 grams of vodka and be visually sober, while others, on the contrary, speak incoherently and stagger.

In both cases, both persons will be drunk. There are scientifically determined indicators of blood alcohol content in accordance with which you should drive vehicle absolutely not possible.

The current Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation provides a clear formulation of what the Permissible alcohol level for driving a car.

In accordance with Art. 12.8 Part 4 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, it is prohibited to drive a vehicle when its concentration per liter of exhaled air by a person’s lungs exceeds 0.16 mg. Or the amount of pure alcohol in the blood is 0.3 mg (ppm) or more per kilogram of weight.

If the driver was tested on a breathalyzer and the numbers on the device showed less than the established standards, there is no reason to hold him accountable. The data is entered into the protocol, the citizen signs it and can move on.

Is it possible to drive with a hangover?

The answer can be unequivocal - no. When can this be done?

To do this, it is necessary to take into account important factor– how much time has passed since its adoption. The fact is that the effect of alcohol on each person and the time it takes to remove it from the body is different for everyone.

And one more sign that accompanies drivers after drinking alcohol in the morning is fumes, specific odor from the mouth , indicating for the presence of alcohol in the blood.

How long does it take for alcohol to leave the body?

It depends on these indicators:

• body mass;
• age;
• composition of drinks;
• was there a snack and what kind?
• Was there water containing water in the diet? carbon dioxide.

To determine without error through which time after alcohol you can drive, we recommend that you analyze all the indicated parameters. Each drink has its own alcohol concentration and, accordingly, the time it leaves the body.

The lower the strength, the faster it is removed. If a person is heavier, the greater the amount of alcohol required to make him drunk.

Weathering time for low-alcohol drinks

This category includes: beer from 4 to 9%, gin and tonics, rum-cola, where the alcohol content can range from 6 to 9 degrees. These drinks have a lower percentage of alcohol and will dissipate faster.

Let's give a few examples. When a person weighing 80 kilograms drinks 0.5 liters of beer with a strength of 4%, it will take at least 2 hours and 11 minutes to dissipate. If you drink gin and tonic in a volume of 0.5 liters and a strength of 9%, the alcohol will be neutralized only after 4 hours and 54 minutes.

This is due to the content of sugar, dyes, and other food additives, which affect reaction time. Accordingly, in a person with less weight, the period of alcohol breakdown will be increased.

Note! Women, when drinking any alcohol, will need more time than men to eliminate it, due to their physiological characteristics body.

Time of withdrawal of strong drinks

Here the situation is somewhat more complicated, since this type alcohol is stronger.

• all wines;
• champagne;
• liqueurs;
• tinctures;
• vodka;
• cognac;
• moonshine.

Moonshine, the use of which is still widespread in rural areas, can have from 40% to 80% and is considered the strongest potion after pure alcohol, although it is not produced industrially.

Let's give a few examples, taking into account a person weighing 80 kilograms:

1. If you drink 500 grams of champagne, the alcohol will completely disappear from your body only after six hours.
2. When we're talking about about fortified wine (18%), after drinking the same dose, you will be able to get behind the wheel no earlier than after 11 hours and 15 minutes.
3. A half-liter bottle of vodka will not allow you to drive a car for at least 21 hours and 45 minutes.
4. And finally, cognac, which has 42 degrees, will be removed from the blood in about 22 hours and 50 minutes.

There is a direct connection between the period of sobering up and the strength of the drink consumed.

When can you drive after drinking alcohol - table of the time it takes for alcohol to be removed from the blood

If you drank 200 grams of cognac or 100 grams of vodka, how long before you can start driving? To accurately answer the question you need to understand the influence of all factors on this process.

It is undeniable that it has an additional effect on the time it takes for alcohol to be eliminated from the body (reduces or increases):

• availability of snacks;
• health status;
• emotional mood.

People with a diseased liver get drunk faster and waste products are removed from their blood more slowly. If you eat fatty foods, intoxication will occur later, and the time to neutralize alcohol will be slightly reduced.

Mood can also have an effect, but rather on the speed of absorption of the drink rather than on the period of its elimination.

When drug addiction specialists compile graphs and tables indicating the moment of reduction to the permissible threshold of alcohol in the blood, weight, gender, and strength are taken as the main indicators, since they play the most important role.

When a person knows how much and at what time he consumed alcohol, he should refer to the data presented below.

They will make it possible to understand when a driver can drive a vehicle if he has drunk 250 grams of vodka, without fear of being brought to administrative responsibility.

See table.

How to speed up the elimination of alcohol

A very interesting and extensive topic for discussion, especially among friends. This question naturally arose by itself. How to quickly remove beer or cognac from the body or how to reduce fumes worries many car enthusiasts.

The man is so inventive that he has developed several dozen methods that will help alcohol “get out” of the blood faster.

Conventionally, they can be divided into several categories:

1. With help medical supplies.
2. Using food.
3. General accepted methods.

When choosing one option or another, you should understand the degree of intoxication. After all, each of them has a greater or lesser impact. It is necessary to assess how much and exactly what drink was drunk.

Medications

This method is considered effective and helps when the degree of intoxication is moderate or severe.

The drugs contain substances that remove toxins from the body and improve overall well-being. Some are specifically designed to remove alcohol poisoning.

Here are the main:

1. Carry out detoxification using intravenous drips with saline, glucose and vitamins or other blood thinning drugs. This procedure is best done in a medical facility, or there is a professional doctor in the family.
2. Alcoseltzer, alcoprim. These drugs are based on aspirin, vitamin C, baking soda, lemon acid, which thin the blood, reduce the likelihood of blood clots, and improve well-being by removing toxins.
3. Zorex – the active ingredient is unithiol. Quickly neutralizes alcohol, protects the liver, restores functions internal organs.
4. Activated carbon – you need to drink it at the rate of 1 tablet per 10 kg. weight. It absorbs harmful substances formed when drinking alcohol, reducing their concentration.
5. A thiamine injection helps the urinary system eliminate waste products.
6. Limontar - improves gastric secretion, accelerates the neutralization of toxins, increases appetite, and normalizes brain function.
7. Glycine is a neurotransmitter that relaxes and calms nervous system, reduces the impact of toxins on the body, promoting their breakdown.

IN this list We have given the most popular methods to solve the problem. Of all the above the best way(tested in practice many times) is detoxification using droppers.

All other techniques are also effective, but last longer.

Food

On the one hand, it is the most pleasant and easiest way if you have an appetite. What makes it convenient is that there is always something in the refrigerator that can be useful for gaining a sober appearance and improving well-being.

The most popular, tested many times in practice:

1. Drink a glass of milk - it activates metabolism and intestinal function.
2. Use a bottle of 0.5 Borjomi, releasing carbon dioxide from it, due to the alkali content in it, the body will recover faster. However, you need to continue to drink fluids - the more, the better, for example mineral water with lemon.
3. Drink brine from pickled cucumbers, cabbage, and tomatoes. Due to the presence of various microelements in this drink (potassium, magnesium, salt), toxins are quickly eliminated and overall health improves.
4. Brew 1 or 2 cups of green tea, as it is a powerful antioxidant and removes alcohol through skin covering or urinary system. Citizens with heart problems should drink this decoction with caution, as it contains a lot of caffeine, which can lead to an increase in blood counts. blood pressure.
5. Coffee with lemon is a great tonic, but again, be careful if you have hypertension.
6. You can use rosehip infusion with St. John's wort - it has a good diuretic effect and contains a lot of vitamin C.

Eating a variety of vegetables and fruits, especially citrus fruits, is also a good way to sober up.

Grapes, lemons and oranges cleanse the body. Parsley, garlic, cabbage not only activate the liver, but also help improve motility of the gastrointestinal tract. Cabbage juice removes waste products and helps reduce the risk of cancer.

Common Methods

These methods include various procedures and stress on the body. They are undoubtedly effective and, most importantly, do not require serious material costs.

Most of them can be done at home:

1. Contrast shower - normalizes blood circulation, improves overall tone, and reduces headaches. You can apply a cold compress to your forehead afterwards.
2. Cleansing the stomach through vomiting - effective method throw out food soaked in alcohol, which poisons the body. You need to drink about 1 liter first mineral water, and the process will start itself. If this does not happen, induce a gag reflex yourself.
3. Walks in the open air. The blood is enriched with oxygen, leading to an improvement in overall tone.
4. The dream is one and effective methods. The body, being at rest, recovers and exits the “emergency mode”.
5. Visiting the sauna. When exposed to heated steam, a person sweats, and at the same time, toxins and decomposition products are intensively released. General well-being improves.
6. Easy jogging. Here the principle is similar to a bath, only in addition to sweating, the blood is saturated with oxygen.

The last two options for getting out of a hangover have reservations - we hasten to warn you that they are contraindicated for people suffering from high blood pressure.

Exercise stress on their body after the drinking is over is unacceptable. History knows a lot of facts when deaths occurred in hypertensive patients after a long stay in the sauna after.

What are the consequences of drunk driving?

This question can be answered very clearly - big problems for a drunk driver. After all, driving while intoxicated often results in road accidents, during which people can die or be injured.

The legislator has provided for severe sanctions for this offense.

In accordance with paragraph 1 of Art. 12.8 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, a person driving a vehicle while intoxicated is obliged to pay a fine of 30 thousand rubles and from 1.5 to 2 years, if there is no criminal offense.

When a vehicle owner puts a drunken friend behind the wheel of his car, he is also responsible for this and is punished with a fine of 30 thousand rubles and deprived of his license from one and a half to two years. And this is justified and fair.

When police officers stop a drunk driver and he does not have a driver’s license or is deprived of the right to drive one, he is punished by arrest from 10 to 15 days. If this preventive measure cannot be applied, then a fine of 30 thousand rubles is imposed.

Any decision must be made consciously, first understanding what consequences may be expected and how they can be avoided or minimized. This applies to drinking alcoholic beverages while driving.

If, after a certain period of time, it is necessary to drive a car and not get into an unpleasant situation and not become a participant in an accident, or be detained by police officers, We recommend that you consider a few tips:

1. Drink alcohol in moderation, within 100 grams of vodka, if you can get behind the wheel after 12 hours or more.
2. It's good to eat fatty foods.
3. Avoid excessive smoking.
4. Do not mix different alcoholic drinks.
5. In the morning, take a number of procedures to choose from, described in the article, aimed at removing toxins.
6. Buy a breathalyzer and check your condition before getting into the car.
7. Do not drive if you have a fume or a hangover, even a slight one.

When using all folk remedies and medications to remove alcohol from the blood, you should understand that they do not act quickly and you will have to wait a certain time for the effect.

Therefore, if the matter does not require delay, it is better to call a taxi by phone and calmly get home. No matter how much it costs, it will be ten times less and more reliable than driving drunk or “hungover.”

The rules regarding alcohol and driving have always been strict. Attempts to soften the requirements resulted in harsh objections from law enforcement agencies. Even the European approach to the formation of permissible blood alcohol standards, given the established culture of alcohol consumption in our country, led to an increase in drunken road accidents. Therefore, traffic police crews are armed with breathalyzers and are not afraid to use them at every opportunity. In general, how to plan a holiday so that you can drive sober as a glass?

There are several factors influencing the removal of alcohol from the body. This is body weight and the amount of alcohol consumed, the strength of wine and individual characteristics(that is, work digestive system, metabolic rate, the presence of diseases affecting the functioning of the kidneys and liver), as well as gender, age and regularity of drinking strong drinks. The more experienced a person is, the faster the body learns to come to its senses.

We must remember that it is impossible to deceive traffic police officers. They will interpret any mistake against the drivers. Raids have already been planned for the first days of January to catch relaxing motorists. And this is correct, since no one needs an increase in accident rates during the holidays.

Since the beginning of 2016, 14,809 drunken traffic accidents have occurred in Russia, in which 3,978 people were killed and 20,243 were injured. It’s better not to deal with this and spend the holidays peacefully.

For reference: the permissible level of alcohol content in exhaled air is 0.16 ppm. And the punishment for drunk driving is this moment determined in the form of a 30 thousand fine or deprivation of rights for 1.5-2 years.

The table shows some common varieties alcoholic drinks and the rate of their introduction from the body depending on the person’s weight. The figures are approximate and relative with an error of 5-10%.

Using this data, you can know in advance how to drink drinks so that you can go sober with your family the next day. cultural events. For those who don’t drink at all and are even afraid to touch alcohol, engineers at the German Meyer-Hentschel Institute have come up with a special “hangover suit.” It allows you to experience all the “delights” of intoxication without touching the bottle.

The suit weighs more than 17 kg and consists of a vest, ankle and wrist weights, headset, glasses and headphones. Together, these elements allow you to simulate the typical symptoms of a hangover: fatigue, dizziness, throbbing headache and problems concentrating.

"We've done a lot research work and even experimented on themselves, recording the morning consequences after evening libations,” says Director of the Meyer-Hentschel Institute Gundolf Meyer-Hentschel. These self-experiments made it possible to achieve the greatest possible correspondence with reality.

The suit was noticed by Ford specialists who, as part of the Driving Skills for Life program, teach drivers about abstinence. Next year, large-scale propaganda work on sober driving among newcomers will begin. The same costumes are designed to simulate drug intoxication.

One of the first to try out the “hangover suit” was Dr. Richard Stevens, who teaches a psychology course at the British University of Keele. “Often people don’t even realize how much a hangover affects their abilities,” Professor Stevens said. — German development clearly demonstrates the scale of the danger.”
