Hello!
A few weeks ago I had 3x 660ml bottles of beer and 250ml glass of wine and my last wine was 9:35pm.

9:40pm: I crashed my car.
10:20pm: Road side breathalyser. FAIL
(Went to hospital to get checked over)
01:39am: Bloods were taken.

Roughly 4 hours since my last drink. I have been told I’ll get my blood results back within 3-4months as labs are extremely busy due to COVID-19. Does anyone think I’ll be alright?
 
The bottles were spaced out over time, I crashed because a fox ran out into the road and I emergency stopped and lifted the handbrake up at the same time which resulted in me spinning and rolling car over when it hit the curb. I felt decent enough to drive at the time and officer said I was good as gold and very cooperative. I felt tipsy but not drunk
 
If you are a male of average size, then your reading is likely to come back at about 100-110, with the legal limit being 80 so you will be over.

Completing the course can reduce any disqualification period imposed by up to 25%.
