It so happened that alcohol in one form or another always accompanies a person, regardless of time, geography and culture. And although it is primarily associated with fun, celebration, etc., you need to know your measure to prevent unpleasant consequences. It is also important how long this dose of "fun" disappears from the body.
Knowing how much vodka is weathered is useful not only for drivers, but for those whose professions require concentration and utmost attention, which can only be achieved with complete sobriety.
These are just those situations when, after being taken "on the chest" the day before, you need to be sober in the morning. Therefore, for some citizens the question: how much vodka does the body have to weather, what does it affect and whether it is possible to speed up the elimination process, remains relevant.
Influencing factors
To calculate how long you can remove alcohol from the body, you need to consider that the first factor will be the amount of alcohol consumed. Next is the gender of the person and his mass. The female body consists of water at 65%, and the male at 70% (according to scientists).
How much does vodka weather for? In an hour, the body can destroy only 90-130 mg of alcohol / kg of body weight. It depends on gender and its impact on the rate of destruction.
Women are less resistant to alcohol. It is displayed in them 20% slower than in men. In addition, other factors, such as a snack, are also important. It is better if it is fatty and high-calorie. Food will slow the process of intoxication, reduce the rate of absorption of ethanol in the blood. But alcohol will be displayed longer.
Type of drink and its strength
The darker the drink, the more impurities in it that delay its decay in the body. And the hangover in these cases is stronger.
Another factor is alcohol on an empty stomach. In this case, alcohol enters the bloodstream very quickly. A person will instantly get drunk, but also quickly sober up.
Influencing factors:
- Air temperature (frost speeds up sobering).
- Physical condition (healthy, sick or tired).
- Mental state (shock, reactive depression, etc.). With a mental disorder, alcohol will disappear faster.
- Age, heredity, time of day. Some people think that before 12 and after 22 hours they get drunk faster.
The best option, in which you will always be aware of the content of ethanol in the blood, is a tester. But this is not the thing that is constantly present in your pocket or bag. On the Web you can find a lot of infographics and tables, calculators, which are easy to calculate how much vodka to weather. Of course, the accuracy of such calculations is not ideal.
But to use them is not always possible, so many are guided by external manifestations.
The concentration level is measured in ppm (‰): 1 g of alcohol / 1 l of body fluid.
How long does alcohol disappear?
Vodka in Russia and the former Soviet Union is the most popular drink. How long does vodka disappear? According to studies, 50 ml completely disappears in a maximum of 1.5 hours, 100 ml in 3-5 hours.
How much vodka is weathered 250 grams (the most common measure of drunk)? 250 ml - 8-10 hours, and for 500 ml, an average of 18.5 hours is needed. For those who are interested in how much alcohol disappears, vodka in the amount of 350 g leaves the body in 12 hours.
The glass contains 60-70 g of vodka. But how much is a gram of vodka weathered? In 1.2-1.8 minutes.
By the way, the Caucasian chacha weathered longer than vodka, due to the greater degree (50%). To calculate, you need to add 20% to the rate of excretion.
How much time does vodka weather on a clock basis depending on weight?
Weighing 60 kg (40% vodka):
- 100 g - 5 hours 50 minutes;
- 300 g - 17 h. 25 min.;
- 0.5 L - 29 hours.
Weighing 70 kg:
- 100 ml - 5 hours;
- 300 ml - 15 hours;
- bottle (0.5 l) - 1 day 51 minutes.
Weighing 80 kg:
- 100 g - 4 hours 20 minutes;
- 300 ml - 13 hours;
- 0.5 L - 21 hours 45 minutes.
Weighing 90 kg:
- 100 g - 3 hours 52 minutes;
- 300 ml - 11 h. 36 min.;
- 0.5 L - 19 hours 20 minutes.
With a person weighing 100 kg:
- 100 ml - 3.5 hours;
- 0.3 l - 10 h 26 min .;
- 0.5 L - 17 h 24 min.
Why is that? With more weight, the concentration of ethanol in the blood per unit mass will be lower, ceteris paribus.
How much is 100 grams of vodka weathering? With an average weight and age of 3-4 hours. If the weight is less than 60-75 kg, the concentration of alcohol drunk increases by 0.77 times, and with a weight even lower (45-60 kg) - by 0.53 times. According to the above patterns, the time for complete elimination of ethanol can be calculated. When using cognac, it should be noted that for its removal it is necessary to add another 10% to the result.
But all these calculations do not take into account one thing: alcohol in any quantity always affects the brain and nervous system, kidneys and liver suffer. The negative effect of alcohol on the reaction, hearing and vision will continue, even if a person does not feel it.
Each person is individual and it is not worth taking data for an axiom. Counting on good immunity in alcohol poisoning is also not worth it. It is much better to plan your schedule with a margin of time.
Is it possible to speed up the elimination process
The most effective means is detoxification of the body using infusions with glucose, nat. solution, etc. But this is not always possible. Therefore, there are home methods.
To begin with, you should know that you can not drink vodka with tea or coffee: the output of alcohol will be inhibited. The easiest option is to take 4 tablets of activated charcoal immediately before the feast begins. And then every 2 hours, 2 tablets. The drug is an excellent adsorbent and does not irritate the gastric mucosa. It is useful to drink water or juices (especially orange or grapefruit) in parallel with alcohol intake. By increasing the amount of fluid in the body, you will dilute the concentration of alcohol and help your kidneys. Sobering up and stay in the fresh air.
For the penetration of alcohol into the blood, the participation of the gastrointestinal tract is not required. Inebriation will occur in any case, the presence of snacks will only slow down the rate of absorption.
Interestingly, cola relieves hangover. Another remedy is porridge: rice or oatmeal in milk. It should be eaten for breakfast. Rice without salt and spices will play the role of an adsorbent.
Visiting a bathhouse - removing toxins through sweat. However, the load on the heart increases.
Other methods: contrast or ice showers, exercise, brine.
With severe intoxication, the use of "Glycine" or "Limontara" - tablets with metabolic and anti-alcoholic effects containing succinic and citric acid will help.
Important! All this applies as long as there is no alcohol poisoning. In the latter case, only a doctor will help!
The effectiveness of folk methods
Not a single remedy is capable of actually removing ethanol in an accelerated way, they are aimed only at reducing the degree of intoxication. The complete removal of alcohol from the body takes time. Why? Elimination of ethanol is the most complex process that occurs in the liver.
90% of ethanol is destroyed by the liver. The rate of alcohol breakdown depends only on the pace of this internal organ. External methods will only help reduce the degree of intoxication, but the amount of alcohol in the blood will remain the same.
An increase in the intake of pure water without gas, diuretics can slightly speed up the process, since 10% of ethanol is excreted by the kidneys.
Helpful advice
With a hangover, caffeine helps. However, one must take into account that caffeine and alcohol will increase the load on blood vessels and the heart, and can provoke a heart attack. Even in the absence of a hangover in the morning, a person can be let down by a fume secreted by the lungs - alcohol decay products.
It will be felt all the time while the body removes alcohol. Therefore, sitting behind the wheel, you can chew parsley, lemon, cloves, coffee bean. You can drink a tablet of dietary supplement "Anti-policeman", which will mask the smell.
The behavior of alcohol in the body
When ingested, alcohol primarily strikes the central nervous system and causes intoxication. This explains the change in the behavior of a drunk person. Vodka begins to be absorbed already in the stomach. Alcohol has an effect on the brain.
The whole burden falls on the liver (it has already been noted that 90% of alcohol is destroyed by it). In humans, intoxication has already passed, and the liver is still working and eliminating toxins. It is in the process of ethanol processing that the liver is destroyed. The decay products in the form of acetaldehyde are the strongest toxin for the whole body.
Other opinions on the effects of alcohol
According to many foreign scientists, taking small doses of alcohol is good for the body. Disputes on this topic continue today. The reason for this statement is that alcohol removes radiation from the body, prevents cholesterol plaques from being deposited, reduces the excitation of nerve cells in difficult life situations, and even helps increase potency (the latter is doubtful).
Daily wine consumption in the Mediterranean countries prolongs life. But the benefits are lost with alcohol abuse.
How much can a driver drink
Art. 12 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation says that the permissible alcohol content in the air exhaled by the driver is 0.35 ppm (0.16 mg). This does not mean that a little drink before driving, the driver is not prohibited.
Devices or breathing alcohol analyzers are called breathalyzers or breathalyzers and they have certain factory errors. According to the traffic police, the inaccuracy is 0.05 ppm. In other words, it is better to reduce the permissible rate for a driver to 0.3 ppm.
No alcoholic drink will give such a minimum. Why is legislation allowed a value above zero? Because some non-alcoholic drinks contain alcohol, albeit in small quantities. For example, non-alcoholic beer, kvass, kefir and other fermented milk. In addition, the breathalyzer will register alcohol in the blood, even if the person has not drank at all: this is possible with diseases of the stomach, diabetes mellitus.
The driver must know
There are 2 ways to determine the level of ethanol in the body: by analysis of blood and exhaled air.
A blood test for alcohol content is carried out only by health workers, their results are more accurate. Units of blood alcohol: mg / l, ppm and BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration) is a gram of alcohol per 100 ml of blood.
When using the breathalyzer, the unit of the traffic police when using the breathalyzer is the number of alcohol vapors per unit volume of air: Mg / l, Mkg / l. Drivers should remember that the traffic police only examines exhaled air, but not blood! These are different things. The fact is that it happens that in the exhaled air, alcohol vapors are fixed, but not in the blood.
Even if you simply put vodka in your mouth and spit it out, the vapors in the exhale will be determined for another 20 minutes, but it will not be in the blood. When taking alcohol-containing tinctures (valerian, corvalol, etc.), the picture is the same. Alcohol in the stomach has already oxidized, and it will not reach the blood. Therefore, you can safely prove your case if you did not drink alcohol the day before.
Can I drink on the eve or not? This question is still relevant. Ethanol is excreted from the body of men and women at different speeds - this must be taken into account. In men, this process takes 0.10-0.15 ppm per hour, in women - 0.085-0.10 ppm per hour.
How much is 250 grams of vodka weathering? Studies have proven that the initial 100 g of vodka will give 0.8 ppm on a breathalyzer, the next dose of the same will add 0.2 ppm, and after another 50 g of alcohol in the body will be 2.75 ppm.
0.1 ppm is equal to 0.045 mg of alcohol per 1 liter of blood. After 50 g of vodka with an average weight of the wheel, you can sit in 2 hours. From this and build on the calculations. Keep in mind that the safe dose of a man exceeds the female dose by 20%. Naturally, in one weight category.
Total
Scientists say that complete elimination of alcohol occurs only after 21 hours in men and 28 hours in women. Throughout this period, its decay products will adversely affect cells. Therefore, in order not to look for an information graph on the Web, it is better to remember in a timely manner that you need to get behind the wheel and refuse to take "on the chest".
