On average it takes about 2 hours for your body to process one unit of alcohol. This varies depending on your body size, sex and the amount of food in your digestive system. If your liver isn't functioning normally, the process takes even longer.

One unit of alcohol is roughly equivalent to a bottle of beer, a shot of liquor, or a small glass of wine. This means that one bottle of beer takes the body about two hours to break down, and a large glass of wine about three hours - longer if the alcohol by volume content is higher than average but not nessasarily lower. So if you have 6 beers during a night out, it could take as long as 12-14 hours to leave your system.

If your livelyhood depends of keeping your licence I would not risk it to drink near beer.
