Answers: To be on the safe side, use the rule of thumb of 2 hours per beer.

6 hours

Alcohol is, on average, metabolized at the rate of 16 mg% (or .016 in more common terms) per hour. Some individuals process it more quickly and others more slowly. So if you have a peak blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .16 your body would take about 10 hours to completely metabolize that amount of alcohol.

However, how high your BAC gets is a function of your gender (females have higher BAC levels for a given body weight and percent body fat than do men), your weight and percent body fat (because alcohol isn't absorbed into fat), how much you drink, and how long you take to drink it.

There for it is not a black and white question. Easiest solution...if you need to start questioning how long it takes to leave your system...your drinking to much.

Don't ever drink and drive. Not even after one drop.

Alcohol stays in your body for three days after your drink. Now this does not mean that your drunk that whole time, even after the effects of a beer wear off it is still in your system for three days which is how long it takes your liver to process it.

Pilots use the 12hr from bottle to throttle rule.

24 hours. :-)

In simple terms. Go with the number two answer here. She is dead on.

The length of time after you finish drinking alcohol that it will still be in your system depends on how much you drank and the period of time in consideration. Generally speaking, people metabolize alcohol at the rate of 1/2 to 3/4ounce per hour (that's half an ounce of absolute alcohol -- or one "standard" drink) -- roughly equivalent to: 12 ounces of beer, 10 ounces of microbrew, 1-1/4 ounces of 80-proof liquor or 4 ounces of wine. Therefore, if you consume three standard drinks -- regardless of how long it took you to drink them -- it would take you three hours to be completely free of alcohol. This should hopefully make it apparent that alcohol builds up in your body over time because the liver can only metabolize one an hour.
