It doesn't matter what mixer you use.
The alcohol takes the same amount of time to leave your system whether your vodka's just on ice or in a large glass of orange juice. Pub measures vary - 25ml (one unit) used to be standard, but 35ml is now more common.
A 25ml shot - is a one-hour drink.
A 35ml shot - is a one and a half-hour drink.
A 70ml double - is a three-hour drink.
If you are pouring spirits yourself, you'll probably pour generous doubles, triples or more. Take this into account when calculating your hours.
| Drink four 70ml doubles and you can't drive for 13 hours - that's 1pm the next day if you drank your last double at midnight. |
