For drivers heading out for big party or celebration then it maye be well into the next day before alcohol has cleared from the body. There are many variables from body mass to food eaten and many other things. so leave plenty of time before driving next day.

A driving license is valuable asset and loss of it can have huge consequences fro personal transport and employment.
