Strange question
This is an international forum .. what is a unit ??? use centiliter
The law is different in every country ... where do you live
Buy generally ...it safest with no alcohol
One pint of beer is 1 unit.
One shot of brandy etc. is also 1 unit.
For every unit of alcohol you consume, it takes one hour to pass through your system. So, 9 units of alcohol takes 9 hours until you are sober.
By the way, I am in England.

How long you have to wait until you can drive again after drinking?

What is the link between percentage by volume and units of alcohol?
Percentage by volume (ABV) represents the amount of alcohol present in a beverage compared to the total volume. Units of alcohol are a measure used to quantify the amount of pure alcohol consumed.

How much time after consuming alcohol would it take to show on a breathalyzer test?
A breathalyser detects the presence of alcohol in the blood. Alcohol gets into the blood when you drink it. The body processes alcohol at a fixed rate (1 unit, that is 10 ml of pure alcohol, an hour). Therefore if you have consumed 6 units, the breathalyser would still detect the presence of alcohol after 5 hours. If you had just consumed 4 units the breathalyser would not detect alcohol after 5 hours.

If I drink 8 tall boys of an evening what time in the orning will I be able to drive?
One alcohol unit is measured as 10ml of pure alcohol. This equals one 25ml single measure of whisky (ABV 40%), or a third of a pint of beer (ABV 5-6%) or half a standard (175ml) glass of red wine (ABV 12%) The average human liver process approximately 1 unit of alcohol per hour. This means that if you drink 12 units, it'll take you roughly 12 hours to fully sober up. For your "tall boy", you need to work out how many units are in your cans (beers in cans come in different strengths), this will be written on the outside of the can. Realistically you should wait until you have metabolised ALL the alcohol before you drive.
