When the country is celebrating, the majority of the population will drink alcohol.
Light: - beer, champagne, wine.
Heavy: - whiskey, cognac.
But it often happens that you have to drive in the morning, or even on this day - in the evening! But here's the question - have these hot drinks weathered out of the body? How long does it take for them to get out of the body? You know, the situation here is not unambiguous, you need to take into account the sex, weight, height and, of course, the equipment. However, in this article I tried to collect all the useful information, there will be both tables and calculator, which you can easily and quickly calculate the complete "weathering" ...
Many drivers, going to the event in absentia, think, drink or not drink?
Of course, you can leave the car at home and go, so to speak, "on foot". And if the birthday boy is on the other side of the city! And the hell I jerked him off to celebrate his birthday in the middle of the week. I'd like to drink a little bit, not before the "pig's squeal", as they say so that in a couple of hours everything weathered out! That is, a little bit - but as our government says - Russians can't drink much if a drop is in their mouth, it means there will be a second one. There are different situations, for example, my personal experience: "There is a tradition at work - when someone has a birthday, it is put down and it is obligatory at lunch, and it is not clear after work to detain anybody. So here the sticking out, of course, brings alcohol, a little bit but brings, and it is uncomfortable to refuse, though this glass of wine (champagne), and not there and not here. In general, do you drink it and think it will erode from 13.00 (lunch) to 18.00 (the end of the day) or not? A couple of times we stopped and smelled nothing, but if we checked with an alcolock tester? Then, as they say, goodbye to your rights for 1.5 years (plus 460 usd of fine). In general, I urge everyone not to say that I have not written - DO NOT drink for the steering wheel. But actually, the topic is different, and if it happened, a small corporate party, say, at work. It seems to me that you need to know how much alcohol is weathered through! But to begin with, how does the process work?
To begin with, about the alcohol law
As we already know, alcohol in the body is measured in ppm, which is the ratio of alcohol content to blood volume. 1 ppm is about 1 gram of ethyl alcohol per liter of blood. Measured by the "‰" symbol, it is similar to the percentage only at the bottom of two zeros.
I will not "speculate" for a long time, we are now allowed to do so (corrections from 2013):
- If we measure it with an alcolock tester, it should not exceed 0.16 ‰ (ppm) in exhaled air. If we take a blood test, it should not exceed 0.35 ‰.
- If you exceed these figures, you will be deprived of your rights for 1.5 years (and a fine of 460 usd) - for the first time, and deprivation of your rights for 2 years (and a fine of 770 usd)! It is not enough, so if you have had a lot of drinks and feel that you haven't weathered out - we don't risk it, it's better to call a taxi.
Weathering factors of alcohol from the body.
Each organism is strictly individual, there are practically no two identical ones. Metabolism (the speed of digestion of food and alcohol), each has its own, someone has more, someone has less. It is worth noting that if a person drinks moderately, then his alcohol is weathered faster because the liver is enlarged, it prepares a "springboard" for the processing of harmful substances.
Today we will take into account the average values, but to begin with, I will note that the female and male organisms are not the same:
- Female - consists of water by about 60 - 65%, it is able to digest 0.1 ‰ per hour.
- Male - consists of water by 70 - 71%, it is able to process 0.15 ‰ per hour.
Of course, everything depends on many other factors, such as snacks, you drank a special product before a meal, etc. Accordingly, the weathering will be different, and it is clear to men that this is the biology that is faster. The female body is not arranged for alcohol at all.
