With respect to most of the answers already given it is obvious that there is a lot of guessing and very little knowledge. Firstly there is NO definitive answer that applies to every one, for, as some have said it depends upon gender, health, age, body mass, food consumption, etc. etc. The nearest you can hope to come is this. Alcohol is measured in units, 8 gms or 10 mls is one unit. on AVERAGE the body will remove alcohol at the rate of one unit per hour, starting approx. 20 mins after the last drink, until you actually stop your drinking session the body is fighting the poison you are pouring down your throat into the plumbing system ! To work out how many units the plumbing, mostly the water dept processing via your liver and producing urine is coping with, helped a bit by your lungs, do the following sum.
Volume of drink in mls that you are consuming X its strength, its ABV figure X 0.001 ( or divide by 1000 its the same thing ).
EG a single 25 ml measure of whisky at 40% ABV = 1000 divided by 1000 = I unit. This is virtually the same as half a pint of beer with an ABV of 3.6%.
You will need a clear head to do the sums, hope it helps.
PS Being a regular heavy drinker will not speed up the process, all it might do is hide the actual effects the alcohol is having on you. There is virtually nothing we can do to speed the process up, just let nature takes it course and time

1 hour = 3/4 of a drink. one drink = 12oz. of beer, 8 oz. of wine, 1 oz. of liquor. So if you have 2 beers in an hour, after that hour, you only have 1.25 beers still in your system.

simple don't drink, but on average about three days.

it depends on the volume that you drink, if you only have a couple of drinks it will disperse within a couple of hours, if you go out and have a night out and drink 8 or 10 drinks (that's basically getting drunk)the alcohol can sill be in your system the next day up to and beyond morning and mid-day

i would like to tell you but i drink everyday so i have no idea, probably a week or two. who cares anyway!

This is completely dependent on what you mean. If you are just drinking socially then read the post above.

If you mean like a person dependant on alcohol the process of the alcohol leaving the body will only take a short period of time. The next part is withdrawl, stopping abrubtly may not be the most comfortable thing ever, but you can do it. When the withdrawl sets in one will have cravings, may become an insomniac, and depression will most likely happen. If one wishes to stop drinking then they should use counseling services or consult with a medical or physiological proffessional for help.

There are general outlines, but if your looking for a definite answer, there is none. It fluctuates according to sex, ethnicity (yes it is true, not racist) how hydrated your body is, what foods you have consumed, your body weight, the amount of alcohol you consume on a regular basis (if its daily, it never does). So if your looking to pass a UA, or a Breathalyzer, be very careful.

According to your body condition. Why do u drink alcohol? Better leave that habit and be healthy.

It takes 24 hours for the liqour to completely leave your system. If you're more worried about the drunk and the spinning rooms..that'll go away in a few hours (about 6-10 hours) depending greatly on how much you consumed.
