What's the matter with drinking and driving litchi? Litchi is a kind of food that many people like very much in summer. But for drivers who want to drive, they must be careful. If they are not careful, they may be drunk!
Two days ago, in the streets of Quanjiao County, Anhui Province, a man was driving a truck. He ate lychees because of the hot weather. He ran into a traffic policeman to check the alcohol driving. The blow showed that there was alcohol in his body.
At 8:00 p.m., the police of traffic management team of Quanjiao County Public Security Bureau, during the routine inspection, a van with Anhui m license plate, attracted the attention of traffic police.
The truck driver, surnamed Zhou, eats fruit while driving. Seeing the arrival of the traffic police, he quickly spits out the fruit core in his mouth. Traffic police use alcohol test stick to test it, the red light flashes, indicating that there is alcohol in the driver's body, suspected of drunk driving. Seeing this situation, traffic police immediately took Zhou away. Driver Zhou said he wanted to find a bottle of water to wash his mouth, because he had just eaten litchi.
At the side of the police car, the traffic police used the breath alcohol tester to detect the alcohol content of the driver Zhou, and the data showed zero. At this time, Zhou was relieved.
The driver Zhou was originally from Quanjiao county. After Zhou's business was completed, he drove a light truck to return home. Due to the hot weather, Zhou ate litchi while driving. When the vehicle passed the road section, he happened to encounter the routine inspection conducted by the traffic police. Unexpectedly, the alcohol test rod showed that there was alcohol in his body.
According to the traffic police department, eating lychees for driving is not caused by the fact that there is alcohol in lychees, but by the fact that lychees contain a lot of sugar. In order to keep lychees fresh, lychees are usually sealed with ice, but this will ferment lychees and produce a small amount of alcohol and carbon dioxide.
Traffic police remind that when eating litchi, yolk pie and other similar foods, the alcohol produced will only stay in the mouth, even if it enters the body, the time is very short. If alcohol is detected and even meets the drinking standard, you can apply for a blood test. Because alcohol will not enter the blood without drinking, so we don't need to worry too much, but we suggest that drivers avoid eating such food before driving.
