before I drive,
I had a few too many last night
How long should I give it before I can legally drive.
I had 6 x 468ml cans of Stella and I'd finished by 11pm last night.

It is supposed to take an hour for every unit of alcohol consumed ----Half a pint of lager = 1 unit.Stella is stronger than ordinary lager.It may say on the can how many units there are in it.If not---To be absolutely certain I would count each can as 2 and wait 12 hrs

Best and most safe is not to drive and I'm sorry Hebb is wrong it is not from when you started drinking but from when you had your last drink count the units of alcohol from 1 hour after your last drink so on what you had to drink you should not drive before 3pm please take care someone else may cause an accident and if you have any alcohol in your system you would be blamed

Basically 1 unit per hour.
So check the cans for number of units; it might be 2 with Stellar. In which case that's 12 units so that's 12 hours. Drinking and eating might help marginally, but not enough if you get pulled over.

Not long if you had drank plenty of water before going to bed, got 8 hours sleep and had a good breakfast.
Should be OK by about 1pm to hit the road.

I always heard it was 1 hour per 1 unit. Don't know if this is write or wrong though. I usually just have a pint of water then sleep!

Assuming those are16.5 oz cans with 5.2% alcohol times six, you should be legal to drive (assuming .08% BAC) approx 11 hours from the time you started.

If you're thinking of driving I would wait at least 24 hours before you're safe to drive, although you will probably feel ok before that

Your body can elminate, on its own (without puking) 1 hour per 1 ounce of hard alcohol that you've had. It helps if you eat lots of food before drinking. esp. breads
