Is it illegal to drink kombucha while driving?
I love kombucha. I drink one or two a day. But after talking with one of my friends, I’m nervous. He told me that you could possibly get a DUI while drinking kombucha behind the wheel. Can I get a DUI for drinking kombucha tea?

Kombucha is a great alternative to sugary drinks! The good news is that it’s not illegal to drink kombucha while driving.
While kombucha is not classified as an alcoholic beverage, it is fermented. During the fermentation process, a small amount of alcohol is produced. If you’re allergic to alcohol, this may cause an issue. But most drivers won’t become impaired by drinking kombucha.
That said, kombucha may show up on a breathalyzer due to its slight alcohol content. If a police officer pulls you over on suspicion of
DUI
, he or she can legally administer a breathalyzer.And if you’re pulled over, tell the police officer that you’ve been drinking kombucha. If anything, this may result in the opportunity to take a field sobriety test instead of a breathalyzer, which is the better option in this scenario.
Since you’re drinking kombucha to improve your health, why not improve the health of your car insurance coverage by choosing a great policy at a great price with the
