How many hours after drinking beer can you drive?
1 Answers
You should wait 24 hours after drinking beer before driving. Since everyone's alcohol tolerance and metabolism rate are different, the time it takes to completely metabolize alcohol varies from person to person. Driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 20mg/100mL or more but less than 80mg/100mL constitutes drunk driving, while a BAC of 80mg/100mL or more constitutes drunk driving. Penalties for drunk driving: For first-time drunk driving offenders: driver's license will be suspended for 6 months with corresponding fines. For repeat offenders: up to 10 days detention, fines, and license revocation. Drunk driving commercial vehicles: 15 days detention, fines, and license revocation with 5-year driving ban. For drunk driving: authorities will restrain the driver until sober, revoke license, pursue criminal liability, with 5-year driving ban. For drunk driving commercial vehicles: authorities will restrain until sober, revoke license, pursue criminal liability, with 10-year driving ban and permanent commercial driving prohibition. If drunk driving causes major accidents constituting a crime: pursue criminal liability, revoke license with lifetime driving ban.
