Alcohol tests Amanda Boot/PSHE/Alcohol Awareness/2014

What’s the law on drink driving? In the UK, the alcohol limit for drivers is 80mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood, 35mcg per 100ml of breath or 107mg per 100ml of urine. In most other European countries, the limit is less, usually 50mg per 100ml of blood. How much can I drink and stay under the limit? There is no foolproof way of drinking and staying under the limit. The amount of alcohol you would need to drink to be considered drink driving varies from person to person. It depends on: Your weight Your gender (men tend to process alcohol faster than women) Your metabolism Your current stress levels Whether you’ve eaten recently Age (younger people tend to process alcohol more slowly) Even small amounts of alcohol can affect your ability to drive so the only safe advice is to avoid any alcohol if you are driving.
