How many hours does it take for alcohol to disappear from your system?!


Question:

How many hours does it take for alcohol to disappear from your system?

Does it go by how many standard drinks you have or % of alcohol?


Answers:
It takes one hour for 1 shot, 1 beer, or 1 glass of wine for you liver to process the alcohol out of you system. The body mass and how often and or how much you drink (tolerance) is how you body reacts to the alcohol. More the body mass and or your tolerance to alcohol the less you feel the effects of the alcohol. but it still takes the same amount of time to process out of your system.

approx 30-45 ml/hr (around 40 % v/v drink) , you can calculate now

your liver processes 1 shot or 1 beer per hour. for it all to be out of your system completely though, it cld take up to 72 hrs.

Depends on how much you had to drink.

For the average person to get alcohol out of their system, it would take about a day maybe less depending on the amount of consumption and the time of day because the earlier in the day, the less time as in the later in the day that the alcohol is consumed, the longer it would take for the alcohol to leave, unless you urinate alot and that would just speed up the process. I know by experience.

Are you talking about completely disappear from your system or just lower than the legal limit? I know it takes about one hour for the effects of an ounce of alcohol to be absorbed by the body.

"Alcohol is removed from the bloodstream by a combination of metabolism, excretion, and evaporation. The relative proportion disposed of in each way varies from person to person, but typically about 90 to 98% is metabolised, 1 to 3% is excreted in urine, and 1 to 5% evaporates through the breath. A very small proportion (less than 0.5%) is also excreted in the sweat, tears, etc. Excretion into urine typically begins after about 40 minutes, whereas metabolisation commences as soon as the alcohol is absorbed, and even before alcohol levels have risen in the brain."

"Alcohol is removed from the bloodstream at an approximately constant rate. This rate varies considerably between individuals; experienced male drinkers with a high body mass may process up to 30 grams (38 mL) per hour, but a more typical figure is 10 grams (12.7 mL) per hour. Persons below the age of 25, women, persons of certain ethnicities, and persons with liver disease may process alcohol more slowly. Many east Asians (e.g. about half of Japanese) have impaired acetaldehyde dehydrogenase; this causes acetaldehyde levels to peak higher, producing more severe hangovers and other effects such as flushing and tachycardia"

It depends on your body weight and how active you are. If your thin and sleep a lot it will take a long time!

1 hour per Ounce
