What is the safest type of alcohol to drink before driving?
Simply answer: none. You cannot rely on drinking a particular type of alcohol to stay under the legal limit. Our bodies absorb, metabolise and remove alcohol at different rates. Aside from the amount and type of alcohol consumed, the rate can be affected by a host of different factors, including the speed of consumption, tolerance for alcohol, gender, weight, fat to muscle concentration, when you last ate, and drug use (both prescribed and illicit).
