Am I good to drive today?

Hi everyone, sorry if this seems silly or paranoid, but I was drinking last night (one glass of rose and 4 vodka shots) and was wondering if I'm safe to drive today? I'm a first time driver (first time drinker too to be honest) so I'm a bit concerned. Ta.

if in doubt dont do it , is one of the few bits of advice ive ever had that i listen to, you know your body and what its capable of plus the law are just looking to prosicute any way and it doesn't matter if its a first time or a hard at it drink driver they all get done the same. take care of your licence they cost a lot and cost a lot more to replace.

Depends how you feel. I doubt if you will be over the limit but if you feel at all dizzy or sick or unfocused then please don't risk it.

Please remember that you would not just be facing a charge if you're caught, you could be facing death or causing death by dangerous driving.

If you feel fine but are unsure about being over the limit then I would buy one of those home breath testers, you can get them from cheapy stores for under £5

depends on when you stopped drinking


TIME - The liver helps with alcohol metabolism and can process approximately one ounce of alcohol an hour in someone who has a good liver. The rate of metabolism is different for men and women. After ingestion of one ounce of alcohol, it would take a man approximately one hour and 15 minutes to return to a BAC of 0.00 and with a woman it would take approximately one hour and 30 minutes. The average body can metabolize approximately 0.015% blood alcohol per hour.

The body metabolizes ( I believe) approximately one ounce of liquor per hour. If you slept a normal 7-8 hours then yes, you are fine.


desert camel
spot on for asking...most just go and drive anyway....very responsible of you...have a star...
give it 12 hours and 6 cups of Coffee to be on the safe side...


Vicky S
I'd have a couple more doubles before you go, to be on the safe side.

You are not sure so don't drive at all today .

You should probably have a few more shots before you drive just to be safe.

No. You have had alcohol in less than 24 hours, which can still be found on your breath if tested. Just becuase you see a articlie like this

"The liver helps with alcohol metabolism and can process approximately one ounce of alcohol an hour in someone who has a good liver. The rate of metabolism is different for men and women.

Doesn't mean you are safe. Alcohol affects everyone if different ways and at this time of year the police would be happy to pull you over.
