Will drinking 0% alcohol beer register a blood alcohol test?

Drinking zero-alcohol beer is safe, but my wife doesn't believe it and absolutely refuses to let me drive. I'd like to ask if drinking zero-alcohol beer will still register a blood alcohol level in a breathalyzer test and result in a fine? (Thuc, 29 years old, Hanoi ).

Reply:

There are two types of breathalyzer devices: The first type blows a stream of air from a distance, and if alcohol is detected, an alarm will sound. The second type is a disposable, direct-blowing device that is discarded immediately after use.

When applying either method, your breath alcohol level will still be low if you consume beers labeled as 0% alcohol. However, if you are stopped and asked to take a breathalyzer test while driving, the result may be positive.

Furthermore, many beers advertised as 0% alcohol still contain 0.5% alcohol. Meanwhile, in Vietnam, drivers of cars, motorbikes, and scooters are not allowed to have alcohol in their blood.

Furthermore, even when drinking zero-alcohol beer, your body still needs time to eliminate all the alcohol from your bloodstream. Therefore, for safety reasons, you should not drink alcohol and drive.

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines alcohol units as follows: One alcohol unit is equivalent to 10 grams of pure ethanol, which is equal to 200 ml of beer; 75 ml of wine (1 glass); or 25 ml of spirits (1 shot). The approximate number of alcohol units depends on the amount consumed.

On average, a healthy adult's liver eliminates one unit of alcohol every hour. This timeframe can vary depending on individual health conditions. Approximately 10-15% of alcohol is eliminated through respiration, skin, and sweat; about 85-90% is processed by the liver.
