• Milligrammes per 100 millilitres of blood: England (80), Scotland (50)
• Milligrammes per 100 millilitres of urine: England (107), Scotland (67)

Motorists face severe penalties if found guilty of drink-driving. A fine, driving ban and a prison sentence are possible, with the actual penalty decided by the magistrates who hear the case. Being in charge of a vehicle while above the legal limit could result in three months’ imprisonment, a fine of up to £2,500 and a possible driving ban.

“We might be going to fewer Christmas parties this year, but several studies show that people have been drinking more alcohol during lockdown,” said Hunter Abbott, MD of AlcoSense Laboratories.

“The increase has been driven by job uncertainty and pandemic anxiety, fuelled by the rise in at-home drinking where measures are more generous than a pub or restaurant.

“This trend makes it more likely that people may get behind the wheel and drive with alcohol still in their system the next morning. Even a small amount of alcohol slows reaction time, inhibits judgement and reduces concentration – increasing the likelihood of accidents.
