drink driving
9 Answers
a friend has started to drink heavily in the evening and still drives in the morning.
Is there a gadget on the market which would show him whether or not he has sobered up by the morning ; as he drinks every day the gadget would have to be reusable.
many thanks in advance . His doctor does not know of any.

- men should consume no more than 10 units, women no more than 7. (This assumes that no alcohol is consumed after 11.30 pm, and that driving does not take place before 8 am the following morning)
This applies to people of average weight (around 12-13 st for men, 9-10 st for women). If you are particularly small, these figures should be reduced accordingly. But if you are particularly big, it is no guarantee that they can be increased. The figures are lower for women not only because they are usually lighter than men, but also because their metabolism is different.

A couple of years ago my friend went to a party, she had five small glasses of wine, went home at 11.30pm had a bite to eat and went to bed, the next morning she left at 11.45 for work and was stopped by the police for having no brake lights, she was given a breath test and it was positive so you never can tell. through having that wine she lost her licence for a year!
