Answers:
Beer is an alcoholic beverage made from malted grains, hops, yeast, and water!. Beer contains alcohol!. Glucose is the main sugar that is converted to alcohol!. Many reactions take place inside the yeast that convert the glucose molecules to ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide!.

Now, what constitutes being an alcoholic is tough to answer!. There is a difference between heavy drinking and being an alcoholic!. Alcoholics have a chronic disease, being physically dependent upon alcohol!. They feel a need to drink, almost in the same way that most people feel the need to eat!. They develop a tolerance to alcohol, requiring more and more drinks to feel the same effects!. When an alcoholic tries to cut down or stop drinking, they have symptoms of withdrawal such as sweating, nausea, shakiness, anxiety!.

As far as how long until alcohol leaves the body, it depends upon how high the blood alcohol concentration is!. It will take hours!.

I'm not one for pulling the wool over someone's eyes that has a right to know something!. Your friend should keep his/her regular schedule and just go for the test!. There are too many important issues in life to take this with a nonchalant attitude of getting away with a test result!. If you friend needs a test to comply with work requirements, there is an excellent safety reason for it!. If your friend is involved in something court-ordered regarding care of their children!.!. definitely for the sake of the children the truth must be known!. See what I mean!? This is not just a test in high school that one can fudge!. Taking a test for alcohol evidence is indeed a serious thing!.

One unit of alcohol (one shot, one 12oz!. beer, one 8 oz!. glass of wine, one cocktail) takes about one hour to leave the body!.

So just one day and he will be perfectly fine!.

No, he isn't an alcoholic!. One 20oz!. Beer a day for an of-age male is perfectly safe, and actually healthy for the body!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Mayur is right and phil is wrong!. The test doesn't check for actual alcohol (which is processed by the liver within hours), it checks for the body's biochemical reactions to ingesting alcohol!. These signs last for several days, depending on how much you've consumed!. Most tests claim accuracy of 3 to 4 days!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

umm alcohol stays in your system a matter of hours not days and if he only has 1 a day that's not a big deal at all lol the fact you asked that makes u seem very young and if hes doing that at a young age it could be bad for him but an adult having 1 beer a day is not a big dealWww@FoodAQ@Com

20oz a day would most likely actually be healthy, a far cry from an alcoholic!.

Will it show up on a urine or blood test!? Possibly but it shouldn't matter if they're legal, if they're not then they probably shouldn't be drinking ever day to begin with!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would not consider 20 ounces of beer a day an alcoholic!.
Some tests will come up negative 24 hours later!. But there is a test called an ETG test!. that will detect alcohol in your system for up to 96 hours after your last drink!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

only the person knows within themselves if they are addicted i wouldn't class 20 oz a day alarge amount -just leave it alone for 24 hrs before a blood test-if he has most unlikely any damage to his liver then it will show up in the resultWww@FoodAQ@Com

Yes it is alcohol, and I agree with the first answer, drink alot of water and abstain!Www@FoodAQ@Com

yes!.
absolutely!.
definitely!.
exactly!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

at least 15 days!.!.!.
ask your friend to reduce his intake of beer!.!.till 15 days before the test!.!.!.
advice him to drink lots of water in these 15 days!.!.!.
the test will surely prove negative!.!.!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

3 days dont drink, some studies are showing drinking beer is similar to drinking wine!. one day keeps the doctor awayWww@FoodAQ@Com

not really
but it does have some alcohol in it but it's not that effective and it doesn't have enough 2 get u drunkWww@FoodAQ@Com
