Driving After Mulled Cider

daggy

Does anyone know if I'll be able to drive after having mulled cider?

I'd expect that the alcohol will burn off when I'm heating it up, but I want to make sure...

Technically no. Have a small glass wait a few hours and you should be fine but don't quote me on that some people will be over the limit even after a small glass.

If in doubt, i wouldnt riskk it.

Unless the alcohol has actually burned it`ll still be present, warming doesn`t remove or diminish it. :beer:
DO NOT DRIVE

Thanks guys... I thought I may have to boil it first and apparently that splits the cider. I should have bought apple juice.

Never mind, I'll make it for everyone else, then I'll take some home and drink it tonight. Cheers everyone.

When you drink it you should be able to taste whether it has alcohol.

It said on QI that not nearly as much alcohol is "burned off" as we think......so I wouldn't risk it

I do love mulled cider but better safe than sorry, enjoy it when you get home.
