After taking alcohol, many people think about how long the intoxication will take to get behind the wheel of a car on their own and not use a taxi. Based on the studies carried out, medical specialists have determined the approximate time for the breakdown of alcohol in the blood in humans.
This information is useful primarily for drivers who have recently taken alcoholic drinks and are interested in how long the alcohol test will take successfully.
When drinking beer with a volume of 500 ml, no residues of alcohol in the blood will be recorded: for men - after two hours, for women - after six hours. If the volume of the drunk is greater, accordingly, the same period of time is added.
When drinking 200 ml wine: a man will be sober in three hours, a woman in seven hours.
Traces of drunk champagne with a volume of 200 ml will not be observed in a man's blood after two hours, in a woman - after four hours.
When using 50 ml cognac, a man will sober up in two hours, a woman in five hours.
When drinking 100 ml vodka, a man will be able to drive a vehicle in four hours, a woman in ten hours.
Thanks to this data, you can roughly calculate the time when you can drive a car. But you need to understand that these are average values, and each organism is individual, and you also need to take into account the state of health. So, for a sick or elderly person, the decay time of alcohol increases by an order of magnitude.
