Who is drinking a safe amount on a Saturday night? Sarah has half a bottle of wine Jez has 2 pints of strong lager Amy has 3 alcopops Ab has 2 pints of normal strength beer Nicki has a standard glass of wine, then 2 alcopops and a double spirit How long till the alcohol is out of their body?

How long does it take for the alcohol to leave your body? It takes approx. one hour for your body to absorb one unit of alcohol. In addition to this: It takes one hour for your liver to remove the alcohol from the blood stream Remember : Absorption time + removal time E.g. If you had a single pint of an average strength beer (Fosters) it would take at least two hours to remove the alcohol from your blood stream once it had been absorbed – 3 hours in total

Absorption time (1 hour) + removal time (one unit per hour) How long would it take for..... to leave your body? 1.A single pint of strong beer (Stella) ? 2.A single 275ml alcopop (Bacardi Breezer)? 3.When would it be safe to drive after drinking four pints of Stella and finishing at midnight on Saturday?

Absorption time (1 hour) + removal time (one unit per hour) If you had a single pint of strong beer (Stella)? Absorption 1 hour + removal time 3 hours= 4 hours If you had a single 275ml alcopop (Bacardi Breezer)? Absorption 1 hour + removal time 2 hours When would it be safe to drive after drinking four pints of Stella and finishing at midnight on Saturday? 4 pints of Stella is 4 x3 units = 12 units in total Absorption 1 hour + removal time 12 hours, you can't drive for at least 13 hours. Safe to drive after 1pm on Sunday Only safe option is don’t drink and drive
