How much can you drink and still be safe to drive. how many pints of lager or glasses of wine for man or lady



Answers:
Legally it's 80mg of alcohol in 100ml of blood.

But since there is no way of you telling how much alcohol you have in your blood while you're at the bar, or how much alcohol that's going to be in your blood when you turn on the ignition (alcohol does take a bit of time to be absorbed), you're better off erring on the side of caution - don't drink and drive!

Also, how alcohol affects you depends on a number of things - how much/regularly you have been drinking over the past few weeks, how much you've had to eat before hand, how stressed/emotionally affected you are before/after the drink, your bodyweight, etc. You'll only find out that you're beyond tipsy when you get to that point, and when you do it's no use kidding yourself that you're fit to drive. It's outright dangerous and irresponsible.

Be strict to yourself about it. Find some other way to get home, or no drinks at all.
one drink per hour
My advice, don't drink any alcohol and drive
it depends on a lot of factors, like weight.
If you drink and drive, you are taking a chance..
Calculate it all you like on body size, weight and any ratio..but there are no ratio's for mood/temprement/state of mind..

and these all affect how alcohol will impact you,
rather don't!
The legal limit above which you must not drive is 35 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath or 80 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood

The amount of alcohol it takes a person to reach these levels is very difficult to determine and will vary between individuals

There is no safe answer. The only way to guarantee that you will provide a negative breath test is not to drink
Government recommendations are not to drink at all as different people absorb differing amounts of alcohol so some can reach the limit quicker than others. If you must have a drink, do just that and have one drink.one unit is half a pint of lager/beer/bitter, one alcopop, one small glass of wine.Don't drink and drive, it's not worth it.
What a silliy question - NONE!!!
Depends on food intake, weight, state of health, fatigue &c. The sensible answer is NO ALCOHOL before driving
My view? Driving is a responsible act where the slightest mistake can maim or kill. Any alcohol in the bloodstream could tip the balance as to how you drive .. so it's no great brainer that if you want to drink, simply just don't drive as well. That has to be the concise advice for everyone I think.
It depends on so many factors that there is a simple way of ensuring you are safe to drive, DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!
It's half a pint, but you're running the risk by even touching alcohol. It's not worth it. Surely you can go without drinking for one evening? It's not difficult!

When I drive, I won't touch alcohol that entire day.
The answer is your not allowed to drink alcohol in the UK and drive, the alcohol Limit allowance is only to insure people on medication are not prosecuted with D.I.C.
Don't drink and drive you are very likely to spill the drink over your self. If you are going to have a drink and some time later drive you should leave 24 hours between having a drink and driving.
As soon as you have one sip of alcohol you are unfit to drive
Best advice is Zero alcohol b4 driving. Any booze will impair your ability to drive. Don't forget you can be over the legal limit in the morning after a session the night b4. Lots of people get caught in the am. Think - you wrap up your motor and walk away - your mate or partner is crippled or killed. How would you live with yourself? Its not worth it. Drive safe
SAFE? the same number you'd like a doctor or dentist to drink before operating on you .
"OOPS, I may need a bit more anaesthesia on this patient"
I usually have 1 pint of lager
NONE, DON'T BE A FOOL AND DRINK AND DRIVE PLEASE
Drink any more than one and you're on very thin ice.
