    How many hours after drinking Am I OK to drive?

    The advice from the police is clear: avoid alcohol altogether if you plan to drive. Because there is no way to speed up how long your body takes to process any alcohol in your system, there's no fail-safe way to guarantee all the alcohol you have drunk will be gone by the time you wake up the next day.

    How long does 1 standard drink take to leave your system?

    On average it takes at least one hour for your body to clear one small alcoholic drink. For some people it can take longer. That is, at least one hour to clear a middy of beer, or a small (100ml) glass of wine, or a standard nip of spirits.

    How long till alcohol leaves your breath?

    How long does alcohol stay in your system to be detected by a breathalyser? The device can trace alcohol within 20 minutes from consumption and up to 12 hours later.

    How long after drinking 4 pints can you drive?

    For most people, a single unit of alcohol takes around two hours to metabolise. For ordinary-strength beer, the legal limit is approximately two pints, so you would need four hours to metabolise the extra two pints.
