Sparkling and frothy champagne is an indispensable attribute of a fun party, an adult anniversary, a serious celebration and a New Year's feast. With this drink, poured into a tall glass, they listen to the chimes, ornate toasts and congratulations on their birthday, a memorable event, the marriage of the young. However, many are wondering, after what time does champagne disappear from the body? And can you drink this festive low-alcohol drink before driving or signing important documents?
The popularity of this low-alcohol product is associated with its air bubbles, lush foam, sweet-sour taste and a cork flying out of the bottle, accompanied by a loud clap. Almost no holiday is complete without a pot-bellied and tall bottle sealed on top in silver or golden foil. However, even weak alcohol is still alcohol, so the time of its effect on the body and the weathering period are exactly the same as for many other alcoholic beverages of varying strength.
Action on the body
When even a small amount of champagne enters the body, the sparkling drink begins to be absorbed into the blood through the gastrointestinal tract. Then alcohol, having reached its maximum concentration, spreads through all vessels, getting into the liver. This organ begins to oxidize it, due to which gradual weathering occurs. Some of it comes out with sweat and urine, while the rest remains in the body for about 8-10 hours.
Weathering period
Champagne is a low-alcohol drink with a small amount of degrees, therefore it disappears faster than vodka, cognac and red, white wine. The portioned content of ethyl alcohol in it is less. However, the weathering period will depend on how much "fizzy" is drunk and for what length of time. Also, gender, weight, age of a person, individual characteristics of the body and other factors (fatigue, illness, the presence of a snack, mixing champagne with beer, wine, vodka, and other points) will affect the timing of sobering up.
The less sparkling drink you drink, the faster the alcohol will wear off. For example, a glass of foamy drink with bubbles will come out of the body much faster than a whole bottle, or even two. If, before and during the feast, a person eats any fatty or hot dish (soup, roast, barbecue), sobering up will come later, since alcohol will come out more slowly due to slow absorption into the blood. Fatty food will serve as a kind of barrier, settling on the walls of the stomach.
How long does it take for the champagne to completely disappear? It is impossible to predict exact figures, but approximate figures are known. One glass of sparkling drink in an adult healthy person disappears for about 1.5 hours. A third of the bottle will require more time from the party to sober up - at least 3 hours. If a man is tall, massive enough, champagne weathering will happen twice as fast as that of a petite woman or teenager.
Brief conclusions
The figures above are approximate, each has its own threshold of intoxication and the period of complete sobering up after drinking a fun drink with bubbles. One thing should be remembered - even after drinking just a glass of champagne, it is no longer possible to drive - any device, when stopped by a traffic police inspector, will show a small value of the presence of alcohol in the blood. And this threatens with deprivation of rights and suspension from driving for a long time. It is better to wait 5-6 hours for the wine vapors to completely disappear from the head.
