  • Alcohol and driving..

    Many of us do drink, and we try to drink responsibly, we go for designated drivers, or take auto/taxi. And the rude fact is that people do drink and drive. From the rule book alchol of more than 30 mg per 100 ml is an offence. But I would rather want to know how much is that in real terms?

    A pint of KF? A peg of old monk? or a mug of kallu?

    And what if one has 1-2 can of beer, how much time (on an average) would it take Blood alcohol level to come down...

    I been reading and From

    Alcohol equivalence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Blood alcohol content - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    A can of beer (5%v/v) is just abt right on the alochol limit, so if you wait for 40 mins after a beer can, you will be well under the 30 mg/100 ml limit.

    Of course heavier, you are more beer can will be needed to reach the limit...


    And any alcohol is bad ofcourse no doubt when driving and shouldnt mix. But when they know its always good to know legal limits.

      thanks for the info, didnt knew it. though no body drinks just a can of beer and comes out of the bar. the set limit is almost null. i guess thats what the purpose is.

        i would say that the limit should be 0 % ( zero percent ). i dont prefer alcohol when i need to drive/ride. I lost a dear friend yesterday because he was drinking and driving . He crashed and died on the spot. It was totally his fault . I really dont know when will people learn. What a start for the new year.

        I would like to thank you for opening this thread and making people aware specially our new members

              Really sorry to hear about your friend. I absolutely agree with you, alcohol and driving just don't go together. The trail of destruction that it leaves behind involves not just the person who was drunk, but his/her family, and in many cases if other people are involved then they and their family.

                @addyrulz01 - Oh bro thats sad. @Ts - great initiative bro. I still remember those days where i used to pray god that don't allow anyone to drink and drive, atleast on Kanakpura road because those days i was working in 108 ambulance as an Emergency Medical Technician and 70% of attending cases where RTA under the influence of alcohol. Its very difficult to manage alcoholic-injured people. No matter he is the driver or passenger. One more thing is that i've seen cops charging drinken drivers and afaik all these values are not valid there. No matter the amount of alcohol conserved, its an offence and more over that many of our cops(atleast in Bangalore) don't use any Portable breath test meter aka intoximeter. So i think its always better to keep alcohol and driving/riding in different cups.
