Alcohol intoxication will vary depending a ton of different factors. Some of these include: your height and weight, how much you ate before you drank as well as when you last ate, your mood before you drank, how fast or slow your metabolism is, other medication you might be taking, amount of alcohol in the drinks, size of the drinks, how fast you drank them, etc.

However, you can try this chart to do an online assessment of what your blood alcohol content would be. It is only meant as a gauge and is not capable of being completely accurate, as the other factors I mentioned above also have an effect on your BAC. It also gives you a chart that is great for reference.

The good news in your case is that alcohol does leave your system pretty quickly, usually within 24 hours (depending on how much you had to drink).

"Although urine alcohol testing will show the presence of alcohol in a person's body, it will not show a person's present condition. Alcohol enters the blood through the stomach within 15 minutes and then metabolized by the body. After 1½ to 2 hours, will appear in the urine. Therefore, urine alcohol tests do not measure the true condition of the individual. The results indicate the individual's impairment several hours before.
Furthermore, urine alcohol concentration does not correspond directly to blood alcohol concentration. Urine alcohol levels vary depending on the individual's metabolism and the amount of fluid in his system. For example, a person who is dehydrated will tend to have a higher alcohol concentration in his urine than someone who has a normal level of fluid in his system. "

"Interpretations of a positive urine alcohol test should take into account the potential for ethanol to be generated in the urine through bacterial fermentation of glucose. This may occur in diabetics who have a high amount of glucose in their urine. Therefore, all alcohol positive urine specimens are tested for glucose and if glucose is present, the final report will include a note indicating that the alcohol source may be fermented glucose present in urine."

"There are instances where high levels of sugar or acetone in the urine can result in false positives for alcohol content. If you suspect this could be the case, it might be wise to have a medical check-up to see if you have any abnormalities in urine composition.
There is reference to the fact that laboratory error can result in false positives for alcohol due to contaminated equipment as well as the introduction of air into the sample. I suppose it is also a possibility that your sample could have been mislabeled!"

1 oz of alcohol per hour but the test isn't looking for alcohol in the urine, its looking for metabolites, what the alcohol gets turned to while in your body and those can last quite a while longer

Well, metabolism plays a large part. You could try to guzzle massive amounts of water and vinegar to try and mask it. Urinate as much as possible. However, you are cutting it really close.

It depends on your metabolism - how long it takes to process alcohol, that is.
