Job interviews are not easy. If you want to apply for...
Driving under the influence of alcohol is a crime. It would seem that everyone knows about this, but ... the facts speak for themselves - there are a lot of such cases.
Many people often ask questions: how much can you drink, how long can you drive, how long does alcohol stay in the blood, how to remove it from the body and how it affects human behavior. Let's try to figure it out.
Why is it illegal to drive a vehicle while intoxicated?
From July 1, 2015, there will be a significant increase in penalties for drunk driving.
It should be noted that if we compare our legislation in this area with foreign ones, then our methods of combating this evil are much softer.
For example, in neighboring Belarus, drunk driving is punished with a fine of 12.5 thousand dollars and deprivation of rights for three years, and criminal liability is provided for a repeated violation.
In some Asian countries, they can even be sentenced to death due to the fault of a drunk driver.
So why is the law so harsh on drunk drivers? It's simple: a drunk person driving a car is deprived of the opportunity to adequately assess the traffic situation. Under the influence of ethanol (it is contained in ANY (!) Alcoholic drink), vision deteriorates significantly, the reaction slows down, a person loses his common sense, although it seems to him that he is quite adequate.
In addition to personal risks, a drunk driver poses a threat to other road users, sometimes fatal.
How the driver's reaction depends on the presence of alcohol in the body
If you ask this question to any motorist, then everyone will say that when drinking alcohol, the reaction rate becomes lower. The more a person drinks, the longer will be the time of his reaction to a particular situation.
Many inexperienced drivers listen to such arguments and draw the erroneous conclusion from this that you can drink a little alcohol before the trip, the main thing is not to get drunk "in the insole".
But statistics say otherwise, drivers with small doses of alcohol are more likely to have an accident than those who are heavily drunk. This is easily explained: the latter prefer not to drive at all, but to use or call a taxi. The first believe that their condition is normal and you can go.
Referring to numerous studies, one can see that in critical traffic situations, when a tenth of a second can play a decisive role, a clear reaction is necessary.
In those who have taken even a small dose of alcohol, the reaction is significantly dulled, and often, the same harmless glass or glass becomes guilty of people's deaths.

How long does alcohol stay in the blood (table)
Dependence on the degree of drink and body weight
It is rather difficult to give an unambiguous and specific answer to this question. It all depends on the individual characteristics of each organism and the amount of alcohol taken.
In addition, there are several approaches to the study of this issue, and each of them interprets the concept of alcohol content in the body in its own way.
Below is a table with approximate calculated data on the time of the presence of alcohol in the blood, which modern medicine considers correct. The volume of 100, 300 and 500 grams of various alcoholic beverages is taken as the basis here:
In any case, all the data in the table are approximate and refer only to the presence of alcohol in the blood.
If we talk about the presence of alcohol in other organs, then some sources contain information that, for example, alcohol can be in the brain from 12 to 24 days after drinking it!
Based on these data, we can conclude that a person who drinks alcohol several times a month is constantly under its influence, although neither a breathalyzer nor a blood test will show this.
All this happens at the physiological level and is imperceptible to humans. Consequently, brain activity is inhibited, reaction, vision, etc. are disturbed.
What determines the time it takes for alcohol to leave the body?
As can be seen from the table above, the rate of excretion of alcohol depends not only on the strength and quantity of the product used, but also on the body weight of a person.
There are several other factors that affect the time it takes to remove alcohol from the body:
- Floor. It should be borne in mind that the female body fights alcohol poison longer by about 15-20% than the male body.
- Age. The older a person is, the more difficult it is for his body to process harmful substances.
- Health status.
- Frequency of use. The more often a person consumes alcoholic beverages, the longer their elimination takes.
How to speed up the removal of alcohol from the body
The main organ in the body that promotes the processing of alcohol is the liver. To speed up the process of removing ethyl alcohol from the body, experts recommend the following methods:
- induce vomiting. This method is applicable only in the case when alcohol has been consumed recently, and it has not yet had time to begin to flow into the blood;
- Take activated charcoal. This is a universal remedy for any harmful substance, including ethanol. It is taken at the rate of 1 tablet per 10 kg of weight;
- Take a diuretic. It will help to quickly remove alcohol from the body along with urine. But here you must first study the contraindications of the drug;
- Bath or exercise. Alcohol tends to come out through the skin with sweat. It is not recommended to use this method for people suffering from heart disease, as well as having problems with blood pressure;
- Dairy products significantly accelerate the withdrawal of alcohol with the help of bacteria and amino acids.
In any case, to be completely sure, it is better to purchase a breathalyzer and check yourself for alcohol content in the body before each trip.
What is considered a state of intoxication in terms of legislation and traffic police
The concept of alcoholic intoxication is clearly spelled out in the legislation - this is the mental state of a person, which is caused by the use of alcoholic, narcotic or other intoxicating substances; expressed in a decrease in a person's ability to account for their actions or manage them.
As can be seen from the definition, the law puts alcohol on a par with drugs and intoxicants.
If we talk about how this or that traffic police inspector will react to the definition of the state of intoxication, then everything depends on the specific case. But in any situation, initially the law is on his side.
Offer to undergo a medical examination, even if he simply thought that the driver showed signs of intoxication, for example:
- The driver has a characteristic odor from his mouth;
- The driver's behavior does not correspond to the situation (according to the inspector);
- The driver speaks incoherent speech (again, according to the inspector), etc.
That is, in simple terms, the inspector has the right to consider a drunk driver who: just drank a glass of fruit juice (smell), got out of the car and began to do push-ups (does not correspond to the situation), or even a simple foreigner who does not speak Russian well ( unrelated speech).
ppm
The very order of the survey with the adoption of amendments to the minimum allowable level (technical error) by and large has not changed. But there is one important assumption - the content of absolute ethyl alcohol per liter of exhaled air should not exceed 0.16 milligrams.
This amendment was adopted to take into account the total error of the measuring device, but in no case for the purpose of allowing you to drink a little!
There is a certain procedure for examination by the traffic police inspector for intoxication. The employee conducting it is obliged to strictly comply with all of its points, and failure to comply with at least one of them may play into the hands of the driver in the event of further litigation.
Before starting the examination process, it will not be superfluous for the driver to turn on the video camera or phone camera in order to have evidence of the inspector's illegal actions, if any.
The main thing that the driver needs to know is that any "bad" traffic cop will hint in every possible way to resolve the issue on the spot. Many immediately agree, especially if they really drank alcohol the day before.
But if you are sober, then there is no reason to worry. Do not rush, you just need to know the laws and be able to use them.
Rules for testing for alcohol intoxication
Introduced, according to which, from November 15, 2014, during an examination for intoxication instead of inviting witnesses, video recording can be used made by a traffic police officer.
Suspension from driving
The first thing a traffic police officer should do, even if it just seemed to him that the driver was drunk, is to remove him from driving. Moreover, there is a separate protocol for this, which must be drawn up with the presence of two witnesses, and signed by them.
- The driver needs to make sure that the witnesses are invited from outside, i.e. uninterested people. It can be accidentally stopped drivers or passers-by.
- It is important to ensure that all the data of witnesses are filled out based on the submitted document - a passport (address, full name). If the inspector fills in the data of the witness from his words, then this action is illegal. In the event of a trial, it will be possible to indicate the involvement of attesting witnesses in violation of the law.
There are times when the persistent demands of the driver (when he is sober) to invite witnesses and fill out the protocol scare away the dishonest inspector.
Examination for intoxication
An important point with many nuances. The traffic police has a job description for inspectors who conduct an examination. But many employees either do not know it or forget to use it. If the case eventually goes to court, the driver will be able to appeal violations of the instructions by the inspector.
Video - about some of the nuances of conducting an examination for alcohol by traffic police officers, which you should be aware of:
- The main thing that the traffic police officer should do is to tell the established procedure for the examination in the presence of attesting witnesses;
- Tell the driver what device the procedure will be carried out with and what error it has. Here you can ask for a certificate for the device or an act of verification.
And one more very important point: in any certified breathalyzer there is an instruction according to which, before checking, it is necessary to let a person breathe for 20 minutes. Many inspectors forget about this (or do not know).
- Before exhaling (again, according to the instructions), install a new mouthpiece removed from the sealed package.
Now this is gradually becoming a thing of the past, but experienced drivers remember cases of extortion by inspectors when they inserted a pre-alcoholized piece of cotton wool into the mouthpiece.
- Next, the exhalation itself is done accordingly. There are no more tricks here. If the device is certified, and the inspector gave the driver a breath and put in a new mouthpiece, and still the breathalyzer showed more than 0.16, then the driver is most likely really drunk. If the device showed less than 0.16, then the person being checked can safely proceed further.
It must be remembered that this item should also have a separate protocol signed by witnesses and the inspector, indicating the place, date and time of the examination.
If the device showed more than 0.16 ppm, then this does not mean deprivation of rights, then there are two options: proceed to a medical examination or refuse it. When referring to doctors, a separate protocol is also drawn up indicating the time and date.
By the way, if the driver refused a medical examination in the presence of an inspector, but then went to it on his own, while the doctors drew up a document on the absence of alcohol in the blood, then this document can be presented later in court. Most judges take it into account and the driver wins the case, and therefore remains with the rights.
Most of us who own personal vehicles have probably wondered how long alcohol stays in a person's blood and urine. If we turn to the results of the studies, it turns out that this parameter depends on several factors. Including this affects the speed of metabolic processes, the characteristics of a person and the state of his body.
The circulation of ethanol in the body
On average, after drinking 400 grams of vodka, this drink completely disappears from the blood and urine only after 20-22 hours. Experts distinguish three stages of the action of ethanol.
- Initially, it is absorbed, this moment begins after the direct use of alcohol. This phase continues until the level of ethanol concentration reaches the maximum value in human blood.
- Then the process moves to the second stage - selection. This stage is characterized by the excretion of ethanol through urine and exhaled air. The duration of this phase is approximately 8-12 hours.
- After this time, the amount of ethanol content decreases and the final stage gradually begins - oxidation.
It must be said that in certain human organs and systems, ethanol remains much longer than in others. And it causes the greatest harm to the reproductive and nervous system.
How long does alcohol stay in the blood?
In most cases, to determine whether a person has consumed alcohol, saliva and urine test. With the simultaneous delivery of these tests, it can be established that in each case the level of alcohol concentration will be different. In some cases, blood tests may be required.
Alcohol is a drink with a unique property - hydrophilicity. It means that the level of alcohol concentration will in any case be higher in an environment that contains more water. For example, in the study of whole blood, erythrocyte mass and plasma, the largest amount of alcohol will be present in the latter.
The phase of intoxication directly affects the time during which alcohol remains in the blood. Most alcohol is observed during the resorption phase, in which alcohol begins to flow from the blood into human tissues. The amount of alcohol in the bladder can be different, and this is influenced by the amount of fluid drunk and from the previous emptying. At that moment, as the process of intoxication weakens, even a blood test can not establish the presence of alcohol in the blood. But if you conduct a urine test, then with the help of it you can quickly establish this fact.
Starting from the moment of ingestion, alcohol circulates for 5 hours throughout the body. But after the specified time, it begins to disintegrate. It is noteworthy that when a nursing woman drinks alcohol, the amount of alcohol enters the milk as much as it enters the urine and sweat.
Factors that determine the retention time of alcohol in the urine and blood
- The amount of alcohol consumed.
- The strength of the drunk alcohol.
- The gender of the person.
- The frequency of drinking.
- The weight of a person.
- The time that has passed since drinking alcohol.
- The state of human health.
To find out how much alcohol is present in the blood, traffic police officers have been using breathalyzers for a long time However, don't trust them completely. There are situations when alcohol vapors are felt in the mouth, although this may be due to the use of kvass or the person has problems with his teeth or stomach. It is noteworthy that alcohol is present in breath fresheners, fermentation products, kefir, toothpaste and other products.
Thus, to be sure of the results of the determination of the alcohol content, when you have a question about how much alcohol is kept in the body, you should always take a blood test. Due to the peculiarities of physiology, alcohol disappears from the blood of the male and female body at different times. So, the female liver needs about 1 hour to process about 4-9 grams of strong drink.
How long does alcohol last depending on the strength of the drink?
To determine the level of alcohol concentration in saliva and blood, special studies have to be carried out. Based on the available test results, which can be found on the net in tables, then 100 ml of 4% beer disappear from the body approximately 40 minutes after consumption. If you drink more than 500 ml of beer, then it is excreted in full only two to three hours after drinking.
According to the table, if you drink 100 ml of champagne, then it takes at least 1.5 hours until it is completely eliminated from the body. At the same time, 500 ml of this drink, unlike beer, remains in the body for at least 5 hours in obese people and 8 hours in people with an average weight. If you drink 100 ml of port, it will remain in the blood for 1.5-2 hours. In the case of drinking more than 500 ml of this drink, an alcohol test will show its presence for 8-14 hours.
The length of time during which liquor can be detected in the blood is up to 22 hours. After drinking a bottle of vodka, the presence of alcohol will be shown for one to two days. Cognac has the highest strength - unlike other drinks, it remains in the body for up to 2 days. After drinking 500 ml of cognac, the body is completely cleansed only after 18-35 hours.
Even a specialist cannot determine with high accuracy how long beer or alcohol-containing drinks can be found in the human body, even based on available tables. But it must be borne in mind that in people with less body weight, alcohol disappears from the blood for a longer time. The simplest and most affordable way to speed up the process of removing alcohol from the body is taking several tablets of activated charcoal before drinking alcohol.
Throughout the time that mankind has been familiar with alcohol, people have been interested in the issue related to the removal of alcoholic beverages from the body. In our country, traditionally, no holiday is complete without drinking alcoholic beverages. They are also responsible for the fact that car owners often lose their driver's license, and in some cases create very dangerous situations on the road.
Keep in mind that by deciding to go about your business by car, the driver risks not only his own life, but also the lives of other people.
Can use different methods, to deceive devices for determining the amount of ethanol in the blood. However, life will still put everything in its place.
Drinking alcohol causes great harm to a person, because:
- perception works worse;
- the reaction becomes inhibited;
- coordination deteriorates.
Therefore, you should not think that nothing bad will happen if you drink 50 grams of cognac at dinner. Subsequently, this can lead to the death of a person.
But most experienced drivers are accustomed to driving drunk, hoping that they are already familiar with such a condition and can control themselves. They are not worried about the fact that someone can suffer as a result of their inadequate actions, but how not to get caught by traffic police officers for driving while intoxicated. But statistics are an exact thing, and from it one can easily understand how large the percentage of such experienced drivers who, due to their relaxation, got into an accident.
Conclusion
Many drivers who are accustomed to drinking not only with or without cause, are worried about how long alcohol stays in the body. This is important because to know when you can go on the road, so as not to get caught by traffic police inspectors. However, it all depends on several factors. In addition to the fact that different drinks have different strengths, it is necessary to take into account the state of human health.
In order not to have reason for concern, it is better to completely refuse to drink alcohol before leaving. Then you will not be interested in how much alcohol is kept in the body, and you will not constantly look at the table. So you will be sure that the traffic police will have no reason to detain you, and you will not become the culprit of the accident.
After drinking a dose of a drink containing ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH), its active absorption through the mucous membranes begins. As a rule, its content in the blood increases over 1.5 hours. During this time, a healthy adult body manages to absorb alcohol.
the process of splitting ethanol (mainly in the liver) and excretion of metabolites by the urinary organs, as well as with sweat and exhaled air, proceeds in parallel. How long alcohol is kept in the blood depends on a number of factors - the volume and strength of the drink, gender, and body weight of a person.
Important: Many are interested in - how many days does it take for the body to completely cleanse itself of alcohol metabolites? Fully exchange products are displayed within 21 days, but these data are averaged.
Why do you need to know how much alcohol is kept in the blood?
Many people need to know for sure: are there traces of ethanol in the body or not? This is especially true for drivers and people of other professions who are subject to scheduled or random checks on an electronic breathalyzer. The device reflects the presence of ethanol in the exhaled air. If the result is positive, this is regarded as a state of intoxication, and the person is subject to suspension from driving vehicles or working with potentially dangerous mechanisms.
Please note: Tests are currently being carried out in laboratories to establish that the subject consumed strong drinks 2 weeks ago. But the positive results of such deep analyzes do not mean that all this time the person was in a state of intoxication.
How long does alcohol stay in the blood?
Everyone who has ever attended parties or celebrations where strong drinks are consumed has noticed that those around them get drunk and sober at different speeds. How long alcohol remains in the blood depends on the general state of health. If a person does not suffer from chronic diseases, but rarely drinks and in very small doses, then a glass or two has almost no effect on his condition.
Please note: There is an opinion that small volumes of high-quality alcohol (in particular, good red wine) have a positive effect on a person’s condition and even prolong life.
Weight is also important: a man with a body weight of about 60 kg is categorically not recommended to compete with a 100-kilogram neighbor in the amount drunk in order to avoid severe poisoning.
The time of the release of alcohol from the blood is affected by the strength and degree of purification of the drink. The most "clean" of them - vodka - lingers in the body for a longer time than wine when converted to pure C2H5OH.
Race has a certain meaning; It is believed that Caucasians have a higher tolerance for alcohol than Asians, tk. the latter have lower levels of the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase. In some peoples of the Far North, it is practically absent.
How is C2H5OH converted?
The main stages of transformation:
- suction;
- distribution;
- oxidation.
- selection;
Absorption (absorption) starts from taking a "dose" and continues until a peak concentration is reached.
In the oxidation phase, the concentration of alcohol begins to fall, because ethanol decomposes under the action of enzymes. Thanks to alcohol dehydrogenase, it is transformed into acetaldehyde, which, under the action of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, decomposes to acetic acid.
Excretion (isolation) is accompanied by the excretion of ethanol with waste products and exhaled air. At this stage, a persistent characteristic smell emanates from the drinking person.
Important: Acetaldehyde is a poisonous substance that, along with dehydration, also provides an unpleasant sensation known as a “hangover”. Withdrawal continues until this metabolite is converted to acetic acid.
How many hours does it take a man to sober up?
There are average data that can be used as a guide when calculating sobering up time.
If a physically healthy man of average weight (about 80 kg) drank a glass of cognac (50-80 ml), alcohol will be detected for about 4 hours. If a whole bottle (0.5 l) is taken, sobering up will occur only after 24 hours.
100 g of vodka comes out in 5-6 hours, but 300-500 ml will be excreted for about a day.
A bottle of beer (0.5 l) gives “per mille” on the breathalyzer for about 3 hours, but the strength of the foamy drink must also be taken into account. If the proportion of ethanol is about 4.2-4.5%, then a mug of beer will really disappear quickly, but beer with rates of 9% and even 14% can also be found on store shelves, that is, like wine.
After a bottle of champagne (7-11%), ethanol remains in the blood for up to 7 hours.
How long does alcohol stay in a woman's blood?
How long does alcohol leave the blood of women is a very important issue. The average woman gets drunk much faster than a man of the same weight and age, and sobers up much more slowly. Studies have shown that the female body gets rid of toxic products on average 20% slower.
For about 2 hours, alcohol in the body of ladies remains after a glass of champagne.
200 ml of dry or semi-sweet wine (but not fortified!) will “evaporate” only after 9 hours.
It will take up to 10-11 hours to neutralize 100 ml of vodka or other strong drink, and 50 ml of cognac will disappear in 7 hours.
Even just one bottle of medium-strength beer is excreted for at least 4-5 hours.

A urinalysis can check how long a person has been drinking alcohol. The specific time it remains in urine until it disappears completely depends on various and numerous factors. In order to be sure that the analysis will not show the presence of alcohol, you need to understand what exactly this may depend on. How it hitsAlcohol moves into the stomach when consumed. Assimilation by the body leads to ingestion into the blood, then alcohol is distributed throughout the body. Alcohol molecules enter the liver and kidneys, excreted from the body later in the urine. The ingress of alcohol into the urine occurs no later than one and a half hours. Then the degree of intoxication gradually decreases and the person begins to sober up.The concentration of alcohol in the blood decreases, but this does not happen in the urine. 90% of alcohol, which is obtained by absorption by the stomach, enters the urine. The rest is output:
Signs of presence in the bodyFor this purpose, there is no need to take tests. You can determine the presence of alcohol by observing the symptoms:
The absence of symptoms is not a reason to assume the absence of alcohol in the body. The tests performed are able to detect alcohol even if there are no behavioral changes. Stages of residence of ethanolThe presence of a strong drink in the body can be divided into three stages:
How long does it stay
There are situations when a person did not have the opportunity to go to the toilet. There was urinary retention. At the same time, ethanol, which should have been excreted, is not excreted from the body. Important to remember! People with less body weight excrete alcohol more slowly. It can be detected much longer than in massive people.
The residence time of ethanol in the urine is individual and depends on many factors. Therefore, in different situations and for different people, it can vary significantly. In blood
It should be borne in mind that the concentration of ethyl alcohol in the blood is negligible. This can create difficulties in the analysis. The specific length of stay is individual and depends on the characteristics of the body. In some people, after 10 hours it is difficult to find alcohol, in others, after a day, the analysis will detect it.It is important to understand that when taking tests some time before the study, alcohol should not enter the body so as not to distort its results.
How does the period of stay depend on the fortressIf you drink hard liquor, the time spent by alcohol in the body will increase. These types of alcohol include: vodka, liquor, moonshine, whiskey and other drinks that have a high strength.
The given values are averaged. Output time tableFor more information on the time of purification of the body from ethanol, see the following table..
Please note that these values are averages. Factors affecting the rate of excretionTo determine the duration of alcohol in the body, factors must be taken into account:
How to speed up
Various factors influence this:
Here are some options for effective herbal decoctions:
Can I drink before taking the testWhen treating, it is important to set up the correct analysis. For this purpose, various tests can be taken, including blood and urine. If even a few ppm of alcohol is found in these samples, the data may be distorted. In some situations, this can lead to erroneous analysis.
Drinking alcohol a day or two in advance can also make the test result unreliable. For the accuracy of the data obtained, there should be no alcohol in the urine at all. It should be understood that the level of alcohol content of 0.1 ppm can be obtained in cases where a person did not drink alcohol at all. This may be due to the use of fermented milk products: kefir, curdled milk or kvass.
To increase the reliability of the analyzes, it is necessary not only to exclude the drinking of alcoholic beverages over the past few days, but also to refuse fermented milk products during this time. When can you drive again?If you need to drive a car in the morning, you should not drink alcohol from the previous evening.However, this approach does not guarantee a 100% result. In order to more accurately determine the right time, it is recommended to refer to special tables. If alcohol is not removed from the driver, the test device will definitely detect it and the person will find himself in a delicate situation. Important to remember! Many accidents on the road occur due to the intoxication of drivers due to alcohol abuse. Methods for determining the presence in urineIn order to study the urine submitted for analysis, for the content of alcohol in it, the following methods can be used:
Even when there is no alcohol left in the blood at all, it is still possible to detect traces of it in the urine. It is impossible to give an exact date when there will be no traces left at all. Norm and allowable values
However, traces of alcohol can be found in the body after drinking kvass or kefir. (function(w, d, n, s, t) ( w[n] = w[n] || ; w[n].push(function() ( Ya.Context.AdvManager.render(( blockId: "RA -381382-1", renderTo: "yandex_rtb_R-A-381382-1", async: true )); )); t = d.getElementsByTagName("script"); s = d.createElement("script"); s .type = "text/javascript"; s.src = "//an.yandex.ru/system/context.js"; s.async = true; t.parentNode.insertBefore(s, t); ))(this , this.document, "yandexContextAsyncCallbacks"); Sometimes during a feast it is difficult to keep track of how much alcohol was drunk. Such excessive use is fraught with serious consequences. In addition to the symptoms of a hangover, a person often faces the question of how long alcohol will be removed from the body. Most often, such information is needed by motorists. What determines the residence time of alcoholic beverages in the body, how to shorten this period. What affects the retention time of alcohol in the bodyHow many hours alcohol will be contained depends on many indicators. Main parameters:
Some people do not perceive alcohol at the genetic level. It is impossible to predict what consequences the use of alcoholic beverages will bring to them. And also how many days it will take for the complete disappearance of toxic substances from the body. How to reduce the residence time of alcoholSometimes it is necessary to quickly remove alcohol from the body. Usually such situations arise before driving a car or donating urine, blood, and other biomaterials. The speed of alcohol processing is almost the same for everyone: 0.08-0.1 ppm per hour. No way will increase these indicators. But you can help the body, which performs several actions at the same time for its cleansing and restoration.Methods that reduce human exposure to alcohol:
You can use drugs with malic or succinic acid (for example, Antipokhmelin). Be sure to read the instructions. If, according to the drinker, alcohol has already left the body, but at the same time he has impaired coordination, dizziness, you can’t drive. At best, you can lose your rights, at worst, create a real threat to the health and life of all road users.Table: alcohol in the human bodyAverage indicators are indicated for healthy people who do not abuse alcohol.
