In addition to alcohol, we can accidentally introduce alcohol into our bodies through some other drinks, such as coca-cola or fermented fruit juice. In addition, eating alcoholic fermented foods such as black sticky rice yogurt, fermented fruit juice; or dishes that use alcohol during processing (shrimp steamed in beer, meat in wine sauce…); and fruits with high sugar content (jackfruit, lychee, durian,…) can also cause alcohol levels to appear on the breath, even at very low levels.
While Accordingly, according to the provisions of Decree 100/2019/ND-CP (amended in Decree 123/2021-ND-CP), drivers of vehicles with alcohol concentrations above 0mg/liter of breath will be fined. , meaning there are no “green zones” like many countries in the world and the level of punishment for violating alcohol concentration when driving cars in Vietnam are currently very high.
This makes many talents Drivers are concerned about the risk of being “unfairly accused” of alcohol concentration. However, unlike alcohol, the alcohol content (ethanol) created by other drinks and foods in the body is very low and volatile, so it will evaporate easily. disappears completely after only a short time (15-30 minutes).
Alcohol concentration in blood/breath depends on factors such as the drinker’s weight, drinking speed, drinking time and the type of drink At any level, it more or less affects the nerves, causing lack of alertness, leading to the risk of unsafe driving.
According to calculations after 6-12 hours Blood alcohol concentration can still be measured after 12-24 hours, alcohol concentration in breath can still be measured after 36 hours, it can still be measured in urine, and after 72 hours it can still be measured when testing hair samples.
In case the alcohol concentration in the breath is very low and you are sure that you have not used alcohol within 24 hours, you may suspect that the meter is not accurate and request a request. re-tested.
Re-testing the alcohol concentration should be done after about 15-30 minutes to ensure the ethanol content in the breath from foods and drinks other than beer and alcohol is released. slightly exhausted.
If you feel wronged, the driver can also request to be re-examined by blood testing.
