How long can alchohol be tested for by breathalizer?!


Question: It depends how much you had to drink, what you drank, how big you are and your gender. The body can metabolize/process approx 0.015% (BAC) in one hour. A good formula is:

(proof in ounces x total ounces) ÷ (your body weight) * (0.43 for women, 0.36 for men) - 0.015 per each hour.

Example I am a 220lb male. If I drank 4 shots of tequila in one hour:
(80*(1.5 * 4) ÷ 220 )* .036= .0785
2 hours later .0785 -.015 -.015 = .0485

Despite all the many old-wives-tales about drinking, the only real way to sober up is time. Your liver processes about 90% of the alcohol, your kidneys pass 5% in urine, and your lungs exhale 5%.
