Answers:
It really depends on a lot of factors!.!.!. ABV, metabolism, weight and even sex!.

Generally speaking, an average person processes one serving of alcohol (0!.6oz ethanol = 12oz 5% beer/5oz 12% wine/ 1!.5oz 40% alcohol) out of there system every hour after they stop drinking!. So in theory your partner is correct!.!.!.

But as I said!.!.!. there are many contributing factors and the one hour per drink thing is only a best guess and not a standard!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Technically speaking the average person's body will metabolize one ounce of alcohol per hour, so it depends on how strong the beer is!. If it only contains an ounce of alcohol, somewhat weak for a whole pint, then your friend is correct!. However, if it is a strong beer (6-7 per cent abv) then you are probably right!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

well i dont know the answer to that but at my aunts wedding my uncle stopped drinking at 9 pm and driving the next morning at 8 am he was pulled over on a check point and was brethalised and was over the legal limit !.even though he had a full nights sleep and a big breakfast and felt fine !.so i would have to go with you saying over the legal limit at 10 amWww@FoodAQ@Com

I think that that's cutting it close, And it's normally consided, One shot liquor, One 8oz glass wine and one 12oz beer per hour, Not a pint, In 6hr's you still would be two beers over!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

nope definately not takes much longer than that buddy!. breathalizers will detect alcohol in your system longer than six hours ago!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It would take no less than 24 hours for that amount of drink to diminish providing he or she has eaten!. Drink plenty of black coffee it helps it to drop faster!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
