Would you drink a bottle of wine and drive the next day?

[HalfWayAroundTheLoop]

Sunday - one bottle of wine between 2pm and 5pm
Monday - driving at 8am

Yes

Yes.

Yes of course, you’d be fine.

No. If I was driving the next morning, I would absolutely moderate my drinking.

15 hours after is probably fine.

yes, rough guide is a hour per unit to clear your system and this is well over that. Depends on the person of course - some would feel completely fine next day, if a person did not then they should not drive.

Yes, of course that’s fine.

Yes, that would be fine.

Yes it's about 10 hours for a bottle of wine to leave your system. You can look it up on drink aware type sites

Depends on how strong the wine, your body (weight, sex, age all play a part in how quickly you metabolise alcohol), where you are (Scotland has lower driving limits) etc.

I wouldn’t , not (primarily) because of the limits here in Scotland, but because wine knocks me for six nowadays and I wouldn’t be 100% alert early next morning.

I don’t drink any more but I think that would be ok?

10 units say and an hour a unit so should be well out your system after 15 hours

I wouldn’t be capable of doing anything the next day, least of all driving.

No.

Not a chance, but then I’m not reckless about drinking and driving.

Are you more worried about getting breathalysed or actually having a serious accident?

Yes

I wouldn't be drinking a bottle of wine like that so quickly in the first place.

Yes

Yes

@NetcurtainnellyShe had that over the course of 3hrs it’s hardly necking a bottle of wine

From a body processing alcohol... yes its probably fine.

But its also how you feel.. tired, head aching,dehydrated... thats personal not science

If I’d had it with a meal, yes.

Do you understand how alcohol is typically metabolised

No, but I don’t drink at all if I have to drive the next day.

I wouldn't but my husband would.

An hour a unit plus extra time so yes, of course
