New Hainan Client, Nanhai Network , Nanguo Metropolis Daily 28 news (Reporter Li Shengfu Correspondent Zhang Haizhe) On the evening of the 23rd, Zhou Moujie and his friends drank from 10 pm to 3 am on the 24th. After waking up in the morning, they thought they were fine and drove on the road. Unexpectedly, they were investigated for drunk driving overnight. At present, Zhou Moujie was fined 2,000 yuan by Sanya traffic police for drunk driving, and his motor vehicle driver's license was given 12 points, and his driver's license was temporarily detained for 6 months.
At around 9:53 on February 24, when the Tianya Brigade of the Sanya Traffic Police Detachment carried out a drunk driving rectification campaign on a section of Provincial Highway 314, it intercepted a small ordinary passenger bus with Qiong BM*** 7 license plate in accordance with the law. After the driver lowered the window, a smell of alcohol came to his face, and the traffic police road manager immediately conducted an alcohol breath test on him.
After on-site alcohol breath test, the driver Zhou Moujie (male, 23 years old) alcohol content is 56mg/100ml, which is a motor vehicle driving after drinking.
After inquiry, Zhou Moujie said that on the evening of the 23rd, he and his friends drank from 10 o'clock to 3 a.m. on the 24th. On the morning of the 24th, after he woke up, he felt that he had sobered up because of an urgent matter, so he drove on the road.
Zhou Moujie's behavior violated Article 22 of the " Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" for driving a motor vehicle after drinking. According to the relevant provisions of Article 91 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", the Traffic Police Detachment of the Sanya Municipal Public Security Bureau imposed a fine of 2,000 yuan on him in accordance with the law, with 12 points in the motor vehicle driver's license and temporarily detained his driver's license for 6 months.
In life, there are many phenomena of drunk driving overnight and drunk driving every other day. It should be noted that waking up does not mean sobering up. Therefore, don’t drive at night if you drink at noon, and don’t drive the next day if you drink at noon.
So, how long does it take to drive after drinking?
Sanya Traffic Police introduced that from the changes in the alcohol concentration in the human blood, after drinking a glass of 200 ml of beer, the alcohol concentration can reach the drunk driving standard of 20mg/100ml. If you drink 3 taels of low-alcohol liquor or 2 bottles of beer, the alcohol concentration can reach 80mg/100ml drunk driving standard. Of course, this number may vary slightly, depending on the physical condition of the individual. Generally speaking, about 10 minutes after drinking, alcohol will be absorbed into the blood by the body, reaching its peak in an hour to an hour and a half.
The human body's metabolism of alcohol is much slower than absorption. First, alcohol will be transported to the liver by blood. The ethanol in the alcohol is converted into acetaldehyde , and then slowly converted into acetic acid. Only then can it be decomposed into water and carbon dioxide and excreted from the body.
If you only drink one glass of beer or one glass of red wine, it will take at least 6 hours of metabolism before you can drive again; and if you drink more than 3 taels of low-alcohol liquor, considering the differences in individual and environment, it will take at least 20 to 24 hours to drive.
The metabolic rate of alcohol in the human body depends on many factors. How long does it take to evaporate alcohol after drinking alcohol to evaporate completely, and there is no fixed value. Generally speaking, the half-life of alcohol degradation in the body is greater than 6 hours. According to individual differences, some metabolic time may take more than 10 hours or even 20 hours.
Sanya traffic police remind that drunk driving will not be judged by the driver’s self-feeling as the criterion, nor will it be determined by the length of time after drinking, but by the professional test results of human blood alcohol concentration .
