Can You Drive the Next Day After Drinking a Bottle of Beer at Night?

It is not recommended to drive the next day after drinking a bottle of beer at night. Whether you can drive depends on whether there is still alcohol residue in your body. The specific explanation about drunk driving is as follows: 1. Drunk driving standard: Drunk driving is not a subjective judgment. Methods such as smelling for alcohol or observing whether someone walks in a straight line are unreliable. Professional instruments must be used to determine drunk driving, such as a breathalyzer. Drinking and driving refers to driving behavior where the alcohol content in the driver's blood is greater than or equal to 20mg/100ml but less than 80mg/100ml. Drunk driving refers to driving behavior where the alcohol content in the driver's blood is greater than or equal to 80mg/100ml. 2. Alcohol decomposition time: Generally, the speed at which an adult decomposes alcohol is 10-15 milliliters per hour. This means that after drinking a bottle of beer, it takes 2-3 hours before you can drive; after drinking two bottles of beer, it takes 4-8 hours before you can drive. Some experts point out that it takes at least 10 hours for alcohol to completely degrade and be undetectable in the human body, and the safest way is to wait more than 20 hours to give the body enough time to decompose the alcohol.
