A tip for drivers: this is when you can get behind the wheel after a feast.

Family celebrations, meetings with friends and working corporate parties are often not complete without taking alcohol. What should you do if you come to this event in your car? Of course, leave an iron friend in the parking lot until morning and go home by taxi. But sometimes you can wait until the ill-fated alcohol finishes washing off the body.





"Site" Tell me how long it takes to drive a car. post-alcoholNot to harm themselves or others.

Traffic police inspectors take measures around the clock, especially during mass festivities, when people tend to drink something stronger, and the most irresponsible manage to drive while drunk. As a result of the neglect of such people, fatal car accidents occur and fates collapse, and all for a simple reason - alcohol abuse and excessive self-confidence.





The numerous consequences that alcohol intake causes negatively affect the speed of reaction and decision-making. Under the influence of alcohol, brain activity slows down, nervous excitement increases and it is impossible to fully control your own actions. Accidents involving drunk drivers occur much more often, and this is disappointing.





Here is an example of how different concentration It affects the ability to drive a car.

  1. 0.2-0.3 ppm of alcohol in the blood significantly slow down the reaction. In such a state, it is difficult to estimate how fast the light sources are moving, the distance to them and their size.
  2. At 0.5-0.8 ppm, which is 1 liter of beer or 120 ml of vodka, visual function slows down, the eyes are slower to adapt to different types of lighting and to a lesser extent perceive red.
  3. An even greater dose of alcohol narrows the angle of view, and the driver completely ceases to control what happens on the sides.
  4. Drinking 2.5 liters of beer or 300 ml of vodka (1.2 ppm), as a rule, leads to a complete loss of the ability to somehow drive the car. If others are lucky, an irresponsible driver will crash into a pole while trying to leave the place of drunkenness.
  5. Blood content of 5 or more ppm of alcohol is officially considered a lethal dose!






As you know, alcohol is eliminated from the body not as quickly as we would like. This difficult process can take from 4 to 16 hours, or even more! It all depends on the gender of the person, his weight, the amount of food eaten and individual metabolism.





If during drinking a person did not absorb food, the stomach remains empty, alcohol does not stagnate in it, but immediately goes to the intestines, is absorbed into the blood and very quickly weathered. That is, in such a situation, a person quickly becomes drunk and sobers up just as quickly.

And if you have a hearty snack and drank everything with a glass of alcohol, alcohol remains in the stomach along with food until it is digested. That is, the process of intoxication does not occur so quickly, and time-out It gets bigger.





Bear in mind: The traffic police inspector's device does not analyze blood, but exhaled air. It happens that there is no alcohol in the blood, but in the exhaled air it is determined. If you rinse your mouth with vodka, for example, in the exhaled air alcohol will be another 20 minutes, the same applies to alcohol-containing drugs.

A tolerance of 0.2-0.3 ppm is not a gift to careless drivers from the state, but only an opportunity to avoid errors in determining the amount of alcohol in the body.





Taking even a symbolic dose of alcohol, it is absolutely impossible to drive a vehicle! Do not commit a crime and do not endanger your life and the lives of others. Our editorial board votes for a healthy lifestyle and a prudent attitude towards it.
