This has been suggested in the past regarding alcohol but, apparently, would be unworkable. For example, if someone had had a liqueur chocolate after dinner, or used certain mouthwashes, there could technically be a trace of alcohol in the blood, but as little as to not make any difference.
Also, the body naturally produces small* amounts of alcohol during it's biological processes.
*There is a condition called auto brewery syndrome where the affected person can become over the limit without drinking any alcohol. I imagine such people would be banned from driving on mddical grounds.
