In May this year, the State Duma will begin discussion of a new bill providing for tougher penalties for driving while intoxicated. We are considering a proposal for life deprivation of a driver’s license for those drivers who were repeatedly involved in drunk driving. In this case, it was also decided to introduce the minimum allowable rate of alcohol in the blood at the level of 0.3 ppm. According to studies by European scientists, this indicator is the safest, since it does not affect the driver’s reaction in any way. In this regard, many motorists have a question: "How much can I drink and what will be the time for removing alcohol from the body?
The permissible dose of alcohol and the period for its complete neutralization depends on weight and gender. The more body weight, the more you can "take to the chest", given the fact that the period for removing alcohol from the body remains the same for everyone. Representatives of the fair sex can safely increase all the above indicators by 20%, since the female body copes with alcohol worse. Fans of daily relaxation under a glass - another should be especially careful, since alcohol tends to accumulate in the body, and the affected liver copes with its cleansing functions worse.
It will be a mistake to assume that light alcohol from the body "disappears" faster. Drinks more insidious than beer and champagne do not exist. Carbonated drinks are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, while the physical signs of intoxication pass quite quickly. Moreover, even the performance of a breathalyzer can be deceiving. At first, the indicator decreases at least twice, after which the intoxication begins to gain momentum. As practice shows, a liter of beer is completely eliminated from the body only after 3.5 hours. The same can be said of champagne. Note that in terms of cognac or vodka, this is approximately 25 - 30 g of alcoholic beverage. After a hundred grams of strong alcohol, you can get behind the wheel in 3 hours 15 minutes. You can finally remove such an amount of alcohol from the body only after five hours. A glass of dry wine "disappears" in about the same time. Note that the performance of the breathalyzer does not depend on the amount taken with alcohol snacks.
The Internet contains tables containing the exact time of elimination of alcohol from the body, depending on the type of drink. But one cannot exclude such a phenomenon as an individual reaction of the body to alcohol. When it comes to blood alcohol content, only indicators are meant that can drive a vehicle without risking losing your driver’s license. Of course, it’s better to drive completely sober, but there are situations when you have to take alcohol the day before. And, as a rule, business is not limited to one glass or a glass. But the state of a hangover is no less dangerous for the driver, while the indicators of the breathalyzer can correspond to the norm. Therefore, if absolute sobriety is not your way of life, learn to take alcohol according to the rules. Beer, champagne and other gas drinks are much harder to carry. Therefore, choosing between a couple of liters of beer and several glasses of vodka, it is better to give preference to the latter.
A proper snack will also help to avoid a severe hangover. Of course, this will not help to reduce the time for removing alcohol from the body, but the post-alcohol state will significantly facilitate. Your main assistant in this will be the liquid. At the same time, soft drinks and sweet juices are not too suitable for this purpose. But water without gas and vegetable juice (tomato, carrot, pumpkin) is what you need.
The condition of a hangover is due to severe dehydration. So, if you replenish the fluid in time, there will be no headache or nausea the next morning.
The Russian feast is a controversial process. On the one hand, giving up alcohol is not accepted. But getting drunk before losing control is also considered reprehensible. How to maintain the golden mean? Smecta or Almagel and Maalox preparations will come to the rescue , which impede the absorption of alcohol. You need to take them every two hours. Immediately make a reservation that this method will increase the period of elimination of alcohol from the body, since alcohol from the stomach does not evaporate by itself, it will simply be absorbed longer.
Try not to mix alcohol and nicotine, even if you are a heavy smoker.
It is better not to mix different types of alcohol, even in the sequence of increasing degrees.
Perfectly breaks down alcohol fructose. Therefore, natural citrus juice perfectly eliminates the effects of an overdose of alcohol. After the feast, not putting off for the morning, use as much milk or mineral water as possible, such as Borjomi.
Please note that the time for removing alcohol from the body is purely individual. Even for the same person, it can be different and depend on the general condition of the body. Well, that a smart adult does not even need to be reminded that getting behind the wheel while intoxicated or after a plentiful feast.
