Many people are still confused about whether drinking beer containing “0% alcohol” will result in a police stop. Will there be alcohol in the breath?
According to Doctor Nguyen Huy Hoang from Vietnam Answer the question that… If you drink beer labeled “0% alcohol” and then drive, the police will call you to test your alcohol concentration. Will there be alcohol in the breath after blowing the test?
The doctor replied: Even if you drink 0% alcoholic beverages, your breath alcohol concentration test may still be “positive” or have an alcohol content value. It is considered a violation of driving laws
Therefore, when drinking 0 beer, it still takes time to completely eliminate the alcohol concentration in the blood and breath before driving. “It's better not to drink beer. Even if the beer is 0.”
There are many types of beer. Which contain different alcohol concentrations. Most types of beer contain an alcohol concentration ranging between 5-8%, and some contain an alcohol concentration higher than 8-15%.
Non-alcoholic beer also known as “0% alcohol”, is a product in which all the alcohol has been extracted. Or distilled to lower the alcohol content than is permitted. In fact many beers that are advertised as having 0 alcohol content still contain around 0.5% alcohol content.
Many countries have different regulations regarding the alcohol content of beer. According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), drinks with an alcohol content of less than 0.5% can be considered non-alcoholic. In Germany too
In the UK, beer bottles labeled “0 alcohol” contain less than 0.05% alcohol. In Italy, non-alcoholic beer contains an alcohol content of 1.2%.
Alcohol removal mechanism
The World Health Organization introduced the concept of alcohol units as follows: One alcohol unit is equivalent to 10 grams of pure ethanol, 200 ml of beer, 75 ml of wine (1 glass), 25 ml of brandy (1 glass). How many units of alcohol convert approximately to the amount of alcohol? Depends on the quantity consumed
For a healthy adult, the liver removes one unit of alcohol every hour, which is an average figure. It depends on each person, such as people with a weak liver. Or those who are overweight vary how quickly and slowly they get rid of alcohol.
In addition to pathological factors, age, weight, or when the stomach contains a large amount of food. The rate of absorption of alcohol in the stomach is slow. The rate of alcohol excretion will also slow down.
Through the body's alcohol elimination mechanism, approximately 10-15% is eliminated through the respiratory system, skin, and sweat, and approximately 85-90% is processed through the liver.
