Can Lizhi detect drunk driving?

We learned from the news that some people were found to be driving under the influence after eating lychees. In fact, this is very difficult to happen, but just in case, if you are found to be driving under the influence after eating lychees, you must explain the situation to the traffic police in time to avoid incorrect punishment. This is beneficial to both parties. And you must pay attention to your gastrointestinal tract when eating lychees. So, can eating lychees really detect drunk driving?

1. Will you really be caught driving under the influence if you eat lychees?

Lychees have a relatively high sugar content and will produce alcohol and carbon dioxide after anaerobic respiration. Therefore, lychees can also be used to make wine. Under certain storage conditions, ethanol will be produced by fermentation. For example, after lychees are stored in plastic bags for a period of time,

, it will also produce ethanol, and the enzymes in the mouth will break down the sugar in the lychee into alcohol. Therefore, it is normal to be found guilty of drunk driving if you drive after eating lychees.

2. What should I do if I am caught driving under the influence after eating lychees?

If you drive immediately after eating lychees and are caught driving under the influence, don't panic. Just explain the situation to the police and take another alcohol test after a few minutes. If it is determined that you are not driving under the influence, you will not be punished.

It is worth noting that alcohol can be detected through blood tests 8 to 24 hours after drinking, and the use of breath alcohol testers by traffic police during inspections is only a preliminary judgment, and the final judgment is still based on blood alcohol tests. Therefore, it is simply impossible for those drivers who are actually drunk to try to cover it up by eating foods such as lychees in an attempt to get away with it.

3. What other foods can cause drunk driving?

Food

Egg yolk pie, fermented bean curd, drunken crab, fermented rice dumplings, fermented chicken, cooking wine, wine-filled candy, etc.

Oral and topical medications

Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, Zhenggu Water, Shidi Water, etc.

Daily necessities

Therefore, it is better not to be greedy before driving, and first check the ingredients of the food.
