How Long After Drinking Two Cans of Beer Can You Drive?

[DelValeria]

Generally, you can drive after 5-6 hours. Here are the relevant details: Alcohol metabolism rate: Due to individual differences, the liver's speed of breaking down alcohol varies. The average adult metabolizes alcohol at a rate of 10-15 milliliters per hour, meaning after drinking two bottles of beer, it should take about 5-6 hours before driving without being detected for drunk driving. If alcohol is absorbed quickly and metabolized rapidly in the body, driving may be possible in a shorter time. However, for those who absorb and metabolize alcohol slowly, it might take more than 10 hours before they can drive safely. Important notes: Remember not to use strong tea to sober up. Strong tea has a stimulating effect on the heart, and drinking it after alcohol can further excite the heart, increasing the burden on it. Additionally, the alkaline substances in tea have a strong diuretic effect. If strong tea is consumed after drinking, the acetaldehyde converted from alcohol may not have time to be broken down and will enter the kidneys with the tea. Since acetaldehyde is highly toxic, it can cause damage to the kidneys.
