Different countries have different drinking driving and drunken driving standards, generally,

if the driver’s blood alcohol concentration is greater than or equal to 0.02g/100ml, but lees

than 0.05mg/100ml, it shall be drinking driving and if the alcohol content is greater than or

equal to 0.05g/100ml, it shall be drunk driving. (In some countries, greater than or equal to

0.08g/100ml is drunk driving).

Under normal circumstances, if you take the alcohol test immediately after drinking wine,

the indicating values may be very high. However, if you take the test 20 or 30 minutes after

drinking, the value may decline, but this value is more accurate, it is because that the alcohol

has passed the digestion and absorption system into the bloodstream by that time. While the

critical value of the trafc police ofcer’s punishment for drink driving is 0.02 g. however, this

does not mean that driving under less than 0.02g is safe. Whether if you have a big o small

alcohol capacity, as long as you drink alcohols, no matter how much it is, you’d better not to

drive, which is not only responsible for others, but also for yourselves.

The body of each person responds of form different from the alcohol consumption. The

capacity of a person to lead surely can be seen far bellow harmed in a point the alcohol limit

in blood established by the law.

Regardless of whether the product is used, Steren will not bear any responsibility

for the violations. For example: drunk driving and high-altitude operations.
