When will I not be over the limit to drive? 😳

Drank an inordinate amount of wine with my friend yesterday, we were celebrating my new job and him not having the C after a nasty scare.
He just kept buying more and I was too stupid to say I'd had enough.

Kids were safe and sound with DH.

I'm worried I'm still over the limit this morning to drive despite having stopped drinking at 6pm.

I have a day off but need to drive this morning but want to make sure I'm safe.

How long does it take?!

Please no flaming, I'm suitably embarrassed already.

Food does counteract some aspects of drunkenness - alcohol lowers blood glucose level quite dramatically which is why you want to eat carby foods when you’re drunk. So in that respect food does indeed ‘soak up’ alcohol.
