Namibia is a beautiful country, with some of the most amazing scenery in the world. Unfortunately, it also has some of the harshest laws regarding drinking and driving. The following guide will answer all your questions about how much alcohol you can drink before driving in Namibia:

As the Namibian government explained, “You cannot drink and drive any drinks.”

But you cannot drive if you have been drinking. That means that if you have 1 glass of wine and then drive home, it is illegal. If you have 2 glasses of wine and then decide to drive home, it is also illegal. The same goes for beer; if you want to drink 4 beers (or 4 shots) and then get behind the wheel, that is not okay either.

If you’re going out drinking with friends or co-workers for happy hour at the end of your workday, stick to the one-drink rule so that everyone knows how much alcohol they’ve consumed before they get behind the wheel.

If you want to know how much alcohol is acceptable before driving, the answer is: it depends.

You can drink up to 5 glasses of wine a day and still be under the limit. But if you drink more than that in one day, your blood alcohol level will be over the legal limit.

Takeaway:

The takeaway? You can drink up to three beers a day and still drive legally. But you’d be wise to not drink more than five glasses of wine a day, or you’ll risk losing your license.
