You are more likely to take potentially dangerous risks because you act on urges you normally repressThere are several factors that can impact how much alcohol is absorbed into your blood, which can tip you over the limit.the type and amount of alcohol you're drinkingIf you cause a death while driving under the influence of alcohol, you face a jail term of up to 14 years.
As a rule of thumb, two pints of regular-strength lager or two small glasses of wine would put you over the limit. You’ll need to add an hour for the alcohol to be absorbed into the system. So, if you have four pints and stop drinking at midnight, you’re not safe to drive until at least 9am.But this isn’t a catch-all rule, because there are so many variables around how your body processes alcohol, everyone has different limits.
