A taxi driver in Shuyang was investigated for drunk driving. The reason was that he drank medicated wine. Is medicated wine also alcohol?

Drunk driving is a very serious illegal act. Recently, when the No. 1 Traffic Police Squadron of Shuyang County conducted night inspections at the intersection of Chongqing Road and Suzhou Road in Shuyang County, they discovered a taxi whose driver had been drunk. , but claimed that he only drank medicinal wine and did not drink alcohol. However, the alcohol tester had determined that he was driving under the influence. No matter how he explained, he could not save his life. The driver's license was subsequently revoked. I believe that everyone has a bar at home at least, so does medicinal wine count as wine? Let me take you to understand whether medicinal wine counts as wine.

Medicated wine is a product that "dissolves" body-building traditional Chinese medicine and wine. It is not only convenient to prepare, stable in medicinal properties, safe and effective, but also because alcohol is a good semi-polar organic solvent, traditional Chinese medicine Various active ingredients are easily soluble in it, and the medicine can fully exert its effectiveness and improve the curative effect by leveraging the power of alcohol and alcohol to assist the medicinal potential. Therefore, medicinal wine is indeed a type of wine, and drinking medicinal wine is equivalent to drinking alcohol.

Drunk driving has been one of the biggest causes of traffic accidents in recent years.

A two-wheeled electric vehicle driven by a certain person caused a traffic accident in which Wu and the passenger were injured, and both vehicles were damaged. It was detected that the ethanol content in Zhou's blood was very high and he was driving a motor vehicle while drunk. In the end, Zhou assumed full responsibility for the accident.

At about 21:40 on January 7 of the same year, in Zhaocun Township, Luyi County, Yang drove a small ordinary passenger car from east to west along National Highway 311 and hit the Zhaodong section of the township. It was a traffic accident that hit the rear of a heavy-duty gate truck that was driving ahead, causing Xu, a passenger in the front seat of the passenger car, to die on the spot, Yang to be seriously injured, and the passenger car to be seriously damaged.

These cases continue to sound the alarm for us. Drunk driving is undoubtedly a harmful behavior to others and ourselves. We hope that drivers will abide by traffic regulations.
