Until your body has metabolized the alcohol (e.g, via urinary excretion, sweat) below the sensitivity level of the particular test.
Depends on your concumption quantity and body weight. At most I'd say this would be 24 hours, unless you have a high tollerance or drank until unconsciousness.

A blood alcohol test measures the amount of alcohol (ethanol) in your body. Alcohol is quickly absorbed into the blood and can be measured within 40 to 70 minutes after you have consumed any alcoholic drink. The amount of alcohol in the blood reaches its highest level about an hour after drinking. However, food in the stomach may increase the amount of time it takes for the blood alcohol to reach its highest level. About 90% of alcohol is broken down in the liver. The rest of it is passed out of the body in urine and your exhaled breath.

As an alcoholic with four DUI's, I can honestly tell you that it takes one and a half hours for one and a half beers or one and a half drinks (made normal), or one and a half (6 oz) glasses of wine to get out of your system with a breathalizer or a blood test. It doesn't matter what you eat before or after. The test is still the same. Eating just makes you feel better!

Alcohol is ususall gone in 2-3 days max...and that is after a consumption that could have killed you...sometimes the liver enzymes, blood cell size or low magnesium levels can last longer. If there is cirrhosis...it is permamnt makr of alcohol intake and liver enzymes can be abnormal for life.

Depends on the amount of alcohol consumed. It takes roughly an hour per drink. So, if you had 3 drinks, it will be detected for the next three hours.

You may fool a test, but not your body. The alcohol will have affects on the system for 3 to seven days.

it all depends on the law enforcement agency with stewardship over the blood test, the PA state police for example can detect alcohol in a gnat's *** that was injected with alcohol over 100 years ago..or so it would seem.

It is supposed to take 1 hour for your metabolise 1 unit of alcohol. So it depends how much you drank and when. For example - 1 pint normal strength beer = 2 units = 2 hours.

this is the easiest way; every 2 oz of alcohol takes about 1 hour to run through your system.
