The legal limit for driving after drinking alcohol is 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100
millilitres of blood, when tested. But there is no sure way of telling how much you can drink
before you reach this limit. It varies with each person depending on your weight, your sex, if

you’ve just eaten and what sort of drinks you’ve had. Some people might reach their limit after
only about three standard drinks.
In fact, your driving ability can be affected by just one or two drinks. Even if you are below
the legal limit, you could be taken to court if a police officer thinks your driving has been affected
by alcohol.
It takes about an hour for the body to get rid of the alcohol in one standard drink. So, if you
have a heavy drinking session in the evening you might find that your driving ability is still
affected the next morning, or you could even find that you’re still over the legal limit. In addition,
if you’ve had a few drinks at lunchtime, another one or two drinks in the early evening may well
put over the legal limit.
In a test with professional drivers, the more alcoholic drinks they had had the more certain
they were that they could drive a test course through a set of moveable posts … and the less able
they were to do it!
So the only way to be sure you’re safe is not to drink at all.
Alcohol is a major cause of road accidents. One thirds of the drivers killed in the road
accidents has levels of alcohol which are over the legal limit, and road accidents after drinking are
the biggest cause of death among young men. More than half of the people stopped by the police
to take a breathalyzer test have a blood alcohol concentration of more than twice the legal limit.
It is important to remember that driving after you’ve been drinking doesn’t just affect you.
If you’re involved in an accident it affects a lot of other people as well, not least the person you
might kill or injure.
1. The amount of alcohol a person can drink before reaching the legal limit is
A. 800 milligrams of pure alcohol. B. approximately three standard drinks

2. When might you be taken to court by the police for drinking and driving?

B. When you have drunk at least three drinks before driving
C. Only when tests show that you have 80 mg of alcohol in 100 ml of blood
D. When the police think that you have been drinking from the way you are driving.
3. When you have been drinking heavily in the evening, the next day you might be ….
A. still drunk until lunchtime B. unable to drive until the evening
C. over the legal limit in the morning D. unable to drive all day
