How many parts per thousand after a beer? Find out how quickly you get drunk

How many parts per thousand do you have after a beer and can you still drive afterwards? In the following post, we got to the bottom of these questions for you.

Determine the alcohol level after a beer using the alcohol calculator

To find out how much alcohol you have after a beer, you can use an online alcohol calculator.

• We used the BZgA (Federal Center for Health Education) calculator: alcohol? Know your limit.
• There you enter the following: your age, your height, your weight and when you drank how much alcohol.
• According to the alcohol percentage, an 80 kg man has a blood alcohol value of 0.3 after 0.5 liters of beer.
• In the case of a woman weighing 60 kg, it is already 0.4 per thousand.

Do not get back in the car immediately

So you should definitely wait a bit before driving again and of course never drink a second beer.

• Alcohol is effective in the blood from 0.1 per mille: people can misjudge distances. This often has fatal consequences in road traffic.
• The maximum allowed to drive a car is 0.5 per mille.
• The alcohol calculator should never be used to decide whether you are allowed to drive a vehicle or not. It only gives an approximate value.
• If you have an illness or are taking medication, the concentration of alcohol in your blood and the breakdown of alcohol can be affected.
• On average, 0.1 - 0.15 per thousand alcohol is broken down in one hour.
