The morning after

Why it's still not safe.

A night's sleep doesn't automatically make you fit to drive.

Depending on how much you've had, alcohol can still be in your system many hours later. A lot of people caught for drink driving are stopped the morning after.

Coffee, a shower, food and fresh air change how you feel. They don't change what's in your blood.
