Mona-vie 1st Gear March 28, 2011 Share March 28, 2011 Cause I recently went to a party at my friend's house. Took a can of Tiger beer (330m can not big one). I am just wondering can if be considered drink and drive? Cause I am somewhat sensitive to alcohol so my face did felt warm. It subside after around 1 hr (took some coke and plain water in the process as well). Left my house around 2hrs after I finish the can. I felt perfectly normal. However, I don't know how much alcohol is there in my blood. Thus I wonder if I can be consider drink and drive? The law only state the alcohol in the blood but never state how many cans you can drink. I just wonder would a can of beer cause anything? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the alcohol impairs your ability to drive though not above the legal limit, you can still be charged. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember the exact figure, but there is a volume of alcohol in the system that automatically constitutes drink driving. One beer should be fine for anyone. That being said the law also states that you can be found to be drink driving regardless of limits if you get into an accident with any alcohol in your blood.

(btw the blow pipe is different from last time one, cannot fake blow side ways...) but EVEN if you pass the test and get into an accident, you WILL kanna charge for drunk driving... if you fail the test on the spot, handcuff and up van... go police station take test again... at station pass or fail test wat happens i dont know...

Timex1441 1st Gear March 28, 2011 Share March 28, 2011 i guess it eventually boils down to personal judgement....i think most sensible ppl will know themselves whether they can handle the driving or not after consuming alcohol.... the law serves to punish those who make the wrong judgement....but i think it's so common to drink during dinner in the western culture, there's no way any country will make the law so strict tat drinking n driving r made exclusive to each other Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baphomet 3rd Gear March 28, 2011 Share March 28, 2011 (edited) how long between alcohol and driving? Ok..I admit im quite a heavy drinker. lets say I drink 1 bottle of black label from 2300-0400.

The law only state the alcohol in the blood but never state how many cans you can drink. I just wonder would a can of beer cause anything? The legal limit in Singapore is 0.08 BAC or 80mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood. This measure is known as Blood Alcohol Concentration and is roughly equivalent to 1 standard drink. Also, you were defintely OK after 2 hours because a person's liver can oxidise alcohol at about 1 standard drink per hour. A standard pour being 30ml of spirit, mixed with whatever. Or a 330ml can of beer, which contains 16.5ml of ethyl alcohol assuming the beer has 5% abv. Therefore, after 2 hours, almost all the alcohol would've been broken down into water and carbon dioxide. In fact, 1 hour was all you needed to be perfectly safe. Still, if your tolerance to alcohol is low, best not to drink and drive lah! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skunk Clutched March 28, 2011 Share March 28, 2011 Actually, one beer will likely impair judgement less than a bout of flu, fever or a dose of drowsy cough medication. I wonder if ppl pay too much attention to the amount of alcohol as to the bigger picture of ability of judgement? That said, some drivers drive like drunk even without drinking lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I drive out ard 2200.. like this will fail the breath test? The bottle of black label contains 25 standard drinks, your liver would therefore require 25 hours (slightly less because alcohol is secreted through your sweat glands & when you pee) to break it down completely. So YES, if you drive to work at 8am the follwing morning, you WILL fail the breath test! In fact, this is a tactic the Aussie police use. Catch people on Sunday morning going to Church, after a night of binge drinking! Sneaky Basterds! 2 bottles of wine contain about 12 standard drinks. So by the same calculation, about 12 hours before it's safe to hit the road. NO MATTER how well you feel, how sober your disposition, your blood alcohol concentration will be above the limit if you don't follow these guidelines. Remember that it doesn't matter how tolerant one is to alcohol, the human liver can only break it down at ONE standard drink per hour. So don't drive if you wanna drink!!

Sleep from 6am to 8am allows all evidence to sleep away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
