The Debate Over Non-Alcoholic Liquor That Gets You Drunk: Implications for Drunk Driving

[파이낸셜뉴스] Liquor that contains no alcohol but gets you drunk is sold in the UK. There is a lot of debate about whether it is drunk driving if you drink it and how you will be punished if you have an accident.

A British university professor recently announced on YouTube that he had developed a non-alcoholic drink.

The idea is to use a combination of plant ingredients instead of alcohol to make our brains feel drunk.

On the 18th, SBS News reported that the alcohol had been ordered from a British liquor outlet. An experiment was conducted to verify facts.

The color was a dull purple.

I only drank about half a cup, but the consensus was that I started to feel dizzy after about 15 minutes.

The reporters also conducted a test with a car that did not start while drunk.

As a result, the vehicle was started with a notice that it had passed the test.

What is even more surprising is the blood alcohol level.

It came out to be 0.000%.

If you drink non-alcoholic beverages and drive, the likelihood of an accident increases, but the police cannot arrest or punish you for using a breathalyzer.

Since it can be abused to avoid drunken confrontations, it seems that the authorities need to take prompt action.
