Answer:

C. one hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Alcohol affects people differently at different times based on certain factors – metabolism, weight, if you ate before, etc. But the fact is that it affects everyone and that even those who do not feel the effects might still be intoxicated. Because of this, one should not drive after drinking alcohol.

Different countries and places have different laws on what is the limit of alcohol concentration permitted. To be sure that you are not over any limit and that the effects of the alcohol have worn off, the standard rule is to wait at least one hour for every drink you’ve had before starting to operate a motor vehicle. Otherwise, the alcohol concentration in your body might still be too high for you to drive safely.
