Can You Drink Alcohol When Renewing Your Driver's License?
1 Answers
You can drink alcohol when renewing your driver's license, but you must not drive after drinking. Reasons why you should not drive after drinking: You should only drive after all the alcohol has been eliminated from your body and you are in good physical condition. Even if you have only had a small glass, you should wait at least 24 hours until the alcohol is completely eliminated, with no residual alcohol left, and your body is fully recovered before driving. Do not take any chances. Penalties for drunk driving: If you are caught driving under the influence of alcohol or driving a commercial vehicle after drinking, your driver's license will be revoked by law, and you will not be allowed to apply for a new license for five years. If you are caught driving a commercial vehicle under the influence of alcohol, your driver's license will be revoked by law, and you will not be allowed to apply for a new license for ten years. If your driver's license is revoked or canceled, you will not be allowed to apply for a license to drive large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, or large trucks for ten years.
