1 Answers
You should wait at least 20 hours after drinking before driving. Principle of not driving after drinking: Normally, the human body can metabolize about 10 to 15 grams of alcohol per hour. A pound of white liquor is 500 grams, containing approximately 200 grams of alcohol. Based on metabolizing 10 grams of alcohol per hour, it would take at least 20 hours. To be on the safe side, and because the body contains a large amount of alcohol, reaction times are impaired. Forcing yourself to drive under these conditions can easily lead to traffic hazards or accidents. Penalties for drunk driving: In 2021, if you drive under the influence of alcohol, you will receive 12 demerit points, a downgrade of your license, a six-month suspension of your driving privileges, and a fine. If you are caught driving under the influence again, you will face up to 10 days of detention, a fine, revocation of your driver's license, and a two-year ban from obtaining a new license. If you drive a commercial vehicle under the influence, you will face 15 days of detention, a fine, revocation of your driver's license, and a five-year ban from obtaining a new license. If a drunk driving incident results in a major traffic accident that constitutes a crime, you will be banned from driving for life.
