At 0.0, breathalysers can’t be used as evidence. They’re not accurate enough.
For what it’s worth, in US aviation, the standard is 0.00 BAC and 8 hours “from bottle to throttle.” But breathalyser evidence is treated with a 0.02 threshold for measurement tolerance.

0.02 is used in Sweden as well, for this very reason - the legally acceptable amount of alcohol to consume when operating a motor vehicle is 0.
Consume during, or consume before? What is the standard for how long to wait?
Until the alcohol has been fully broken down and is no longer present in the bloodstream.
For multiple drinks, probably the day after.
There is a 1 hour per standard drink heuristic in the US – people believe they are safe to drive after that. Not sure what the science shows
I think there’s a decent chance you’d lose your license for that in Sweden.
