It is not considered drunk driving if you sit in the driver's seat without starting the vehicle after drinking. Criteria for determining drunk driving: Determining drunk driving depends on the blood alcohol content, which is related to the amount of alcohol consumed and the body's ability to metabolize alcohol. According to relevant regulations, a blood alcohol content of 20mg/100ml or higher is considered drunk driving, while 80mg/100ml or higher is considered driving under severe intoxication. Breathalyzer tests are not included in the determination of severe intoxication. Following the standards for criminal evidence collection, drivers suspected of severe intoxication must undergo blood tests for evidence. The data from alcohol monitoring devices used in drunk driving checks are only preliminary methods for traffic police to assess severe intoxication. A conclusive determination is made by comparing the suspect's blood alcohol content. Penalties: The penalty includes a 6-month suspension of the motor vehicle driver's license and a fine.
