How much alcohol it takes to reach the limit CANNOT be calculated. This is because how quickly your body breaks down alcohol depends on lots of different factors that are not generic, they vary from person to person. The only way you can guarantee that you will not be over the limit is to drink nothing before you drive.

yep, it certainly does vary, but within a veery close degree it takes everyone the same amount of time to break down the alcohol.

If your driving why even risk it with 1 drink. It should be if your in control of a car want to drink you should be shot.

Done the course yet?
im not proud of it but i got done for DD in 2001....the course said the 'limit' was 'around' five units but as said previously, peoples bodies/livers process the alcohol slightly differently
for the record i was told wait one hour for the alcohol to hit your liver, then one hour per unit to cleanse.....
i can guarantee there are people here that have inadvertently drink driven in the morning after a night on the pop

There is one unit of alcohol in, Half a pint of beer, a small glass of wine, a glass of sherry and a single measure of spirit. However that is a very innacurate way of measuring how much you have had to drink, hence why you should really stay off the booze if your gonna drive...
