How long after drinking a small sip of red wine can you drive?

You should wait 3 hours after drinking a small sip of red wine before driving. Alcohol breakdown rate: One glass of red wine is 2 liang, which is 100 milliliters. With an alcohol content of 12-14%, the driver's blood alcohol concentration would be approximately 22-27mg/100ml. Since the average adult metabolizes alcohol at a rate of 10-15 milliliters per hour, it would take about three hours to completely metabolize one glass of red wine. Metabolism rate: However, this number isn't absolute as alcohol metabolism speed in the human body depends on various factors. Each person's alcohol metabolism rate differs, and even the same individual may have different metabolism rates at different times or in different environments.
