Can You Drive the Next Day After Drinking at Night?

[LeTalia]

After drinking one beer or half a liang of white liquor, it's best to wait 10 hours before driving. If you consume two bottles of beer or three liang of low-alcohol white liquor, it's advisable to wait a full day before driving. For higher alcohol content or larger quantities, an even longer waiting period is necessary before driving. Here are the relevant details: 1. Definition of drunk driving: Drunk driving is defined as when the driver's blood alcohol content (BAC) is 20 milligrams or more per 100 milliliters, but less than 80 milligrams. If the BAC reaches or exceeds 80 milligrams per 100 milliliters, it is classified as driving under severe intoxication. 2. Alcohol metabolism rate in the human body: Consuming one or two bottles of beer, approximately one liang of 12-degree red wine, or half a liang of 50-degree white liquor can reach the drunk driving standard. As for how long one should wait before driving after drinking, the metabolism rate of alcohol in the human body is limited, generally only 10 to 15 grams of alcohol per hour.
