PsychocAndy Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I've not a had drink for 4 years until last night. I had 2 1/2 pints and felt a bit rubbery. In bed by midnight. I'm 6ft 4" and had a couple of sausage and bacon rolls this morning, should my alcohol limit be under the drink drive limit by now or should I leave it till tomorrow. Baring in mind I need to be somewhere today. Thanks for any help given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Better being safe than sorry. Use public transport today. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychocAndy Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 Your right of course. I,m just being a selfish tw@t. God how I hate buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregorski Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Yeah, go with the bus. Honestly mate, you don't want to have to go through the process of getting your licence all over again. I'm trying to get through my driving test at the moment and believe me it's not something you want to have to go through twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Your body processes a unit of alcohol roughly every hour, so two and a half pints is five hours. It's been over 12, you'll be absolutely fine, unless it was two and a half pints of vodka... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medico Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 If you feel dodgy or hungover then don't do it. If you feel fine then you'll be fine, as has already been said the alcohol should be well out of your blood by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works out about 2 hours on average for your body to process the alcohol in every pint. What most forget is that includes when you are drinking it. In fact that has got me thinking. If you drink a pint every 2 hours for 12 hours you could probably drive no problem. Is that correct...or am I talking pish.. PS - Not saying it would be a good plan.

Locically, 2 hours after your last pint, you would be back to zero alcohol and you would be safe to drive after doing what you said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You try not drinking for a couple of months and then you'll see that your body has a different effect with alcohol. The last time I had a drink was 4 years ago. Also I'm an ugly man and would make an even uglier woman, right up your street I take it. Best bit was trying to get to the bar at Biddie's past some guys in Sumo suits and another lot dressed as knights only for my brother to be refused entry because he had crappy white trainers on, they cost ?20. He'd been looking forward to a Guinness all his holidays and on his last night they wouldnae let him in. He can't get a good pint in his part of Holland, no Irish pubs for miles, nearest one's in Belgium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
