Common misconceptions about drunk driving
Myth 1
The amount of alcohol is large, and drinking a little will not affectThe criteria for determining drunk driving have nothing to do with the amount of alcohol, but whether the blood alcohol content meets the criteria for drunk driving.
Myth 2
Medicated wine and sweet wine are not wineMedicated wine, sweet wine, etc., no matter what kind of alcohol, as long as you drink it and drive, and the blood alcohol content in the body is greater than or equal to 20gm 100ml, it is a drunk driving behavior.
Myth 3
You can drive after a short break after drinkingIt is believed that you only need to take a break after drinking alcohol before you can drive. In fact, alcohol is metabolized in the human body for a long time, and there is still a large amount of alcohol in the blood after resting for a while, which may still constitute drunk driving and drunk driving, endangering traffic safety.
Myth 4
Drinking alcohol at meals and overnight is not considered drunk drivingMany car owners are convicted of "drunk driving" because they drink alcohol at night and drive the next morning, and they still test that the alcohol content exceeds the limit, so they are judged to be drunk driving.
Myth 5
Moving a car under the influence of alcohol does not count as drunk drivingWhen a motor vehicle starts and displaces, the driver is in the driving behavior. No matter how slow the driver is to drive a motor vehicle after drinking, the driver's control ability and reaction ability will be reduced to varying degrees, and accidents are prone to occur.
Myth 6
Riding a motorcycle while drunk is not drunk drivingTwo-wheeled and three-wheeled motorcycles are both motor vehicles, and driving motorcycles under the influence of alcohol is subject to corresponding penalties.
Myth 7
There is no responsibility for drunk driving accidentsKnowing that the driver is drunk and still hitchhiking, it is irresponsible for his own life. While staying away from "drunk driving", you should not only discourage your companions who drive after drinking in time, but also not take a "drunk driving" vehicle for convenience and save face, otherwise, you will also have to bear the corresponding responsibility.
Myth 8
Drinking plenty of water can dilute the alcoholSome drunk drivers want to lower the alcohol content in their mouths by drinking water and smoking, but in fact, the alcohol detector detects the gas from the lungs, and the alcohol content of the lung gas will not be diluted by drinking a few sips of water.
Alcohol is metabolized in the human body for a long time, and drinking more water for a short period of time does not reduce the alcohol content.

Therefore, if you drink and drive in a place other than the highway, if you meet the criteria for drunk driving or drunk driving after testing, you will also be dealt with in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations.
Myth 10
You can drive after taking sobering pillsSome sobering pills claim to be effective in lowering blood alcohol levels in a short period of time, but in fact, sobering pills do not have the effect of quickly lowering alcohol levels in the body, but only relieve symptoms after drinking.
