If you drink alcohol, how long should you wait before driving?

  1. Two hours

  2. Eight hours

  3. One hour

  4. There is no need to wait

The correct answer is: Eight hours

Driving under the influence of alcohol is extremely dangerous and can put not only yourself, but others on the road at risk. It takes time for the alcohol to fully leave your system and for you to be sober enough to safely operate a vehicle. Waiting eight hours after consuming alcohol is a general guideline, but the exact amount of time it takes for your body to metabolize the alcohol can vary depending on several factors. It may seem like a long time, but it's important to prioritize safety over convenience. Options A and C may seem like appropriate durations, but two hours may not be long enough for the alcohol to fully leave your system and one hour is definitely not sufficient. Option D is incorrect because it implies that it is okay to drive immediately after drinking, which is not safe or responsible.
