how long does acohol stay in your system?

Answer 1

This can vary greatly between each person. No one formula is 100% accurate because of the number of factors that come into play regarding the consumption and reduction (burnoff) rates of different people. Factors include the sex (male/female) of the drinker, differing metabolism rates, various health issues and the combination of medications that might be taken, drinking frequency, amount of food in the stomach and small intestine and when it was eaten, elapsed time, and others.

Generally, your body can take between 1 and 12 hours to purge all alcohol in your system, depending greatly on the factors mentioned above.

Answer 2

Alcohol leaves the body at .15% for every hour. Each person is different as far as how much too drink and to feel the effects. There is no difference between one shot, one beer, or one glass of wine, they all will produce the same amount of alcohol. There is also no "special" way to make the alcohol leave you system. Once you drink it, it's there and will only take the body's metabolism to "force" it out.

Answer 3

"The length of time after you finish drinking alcohol that it will still be in your system depends on how much you drank and the period of time in consideration. Generally speaking, people metabolize alcohol at the rate of 1/2 ounce per hour (that's half an ounce of absolute alcohol -- or one "standard" drink) -- roughly equivalent to: 12 ounces of beer, 10 ounces of microbrew, 6 ounces of wine cooler (or hard lemonade), 1-1/4 ounces of 80-proof liquor or 4 ounces of wine. Therefore, if you consume three standard drinks -- regardless of how long it took you to drink them -- it would take you three hours to be completely free of alcohol. This should hopefully make it apparent that alcohol builds up in your body over time because the liver can only metabolize one an hour. That's why it is dangerous for people to "chug" alcohol or play drinking games. If you consume large quantities of alcohol in a short period of time, you can quickly get a toxic or lethal dose in your blood stream. Unfortunately, once it is absorbed from the gut (which occurs relatively quickly), there's nothing you can do to "get rid" of the alcohol except wait for it to be metabolized by the liver. "

Answer 4

It depends on how much you drink.

If you have up to 1 drink per hour, you could legally drive in most states, if you are over the legal drinking age.

If you have up to 1 drink per hour it takes roughly 24 hours from the consumption of your last drink to get out of your system.

Alcohol stays in your system 24 hours.
