the liquid in the drink you had will leave your body through sweat glands and urine but the alcohol itself is absorbed into your blood stream.

your body reduces the alcohol in the body by a unit per hour, or there abouts, after the first hour(the first hour does not count towards getting rid of alcohol). It matters not if you go to the toliet or not.
So for example, you drink 1 pint of beer in an hour. (2 units) after the 1st hour you have 2 units in your system, after the 2nd hour only 1 unit and after the 3rd hour you are down to zero.
2 pints of beer would need 5 hours to leave you
3 pints, 7 hours. And that isn't even a decent night out.
As you continue to drink you simply keep adding up the units taken in, then deduct the number of units removed.

It takes 1 hour for 1 OUNCE of alcohol to be halfway eliminated (i.e., half-life). This may mean the equivalent amounts in wine or beer (usually 8 ounces beer or 4-6 ounces wine). And no,you cannot flush it out by drinking more water. The alcohol has to be metabolized by the liver. If you pace yourself to limit this amount per hour, generally you can stay below the legal limit. Keep in mind that women absorb alcohol more rapidly than men and reach a legal intoxication level with less alcohol than men.

No, that is not exactly correct. Undoubtedly, you piss out a fair bit of alcohol but after a drink the alcoholic effect increases for up to an hour or so. So if you stop drinking at 10 o'clock you're still getting more pissed at 10.30.

The amount of alcohol in your system depends on the rate of consumption minus the rate of metabolism
Say you drank for 6 hours at a rate of 4units/hour(2pins beer, 4shots etc)
Your body 'loses' 1 unit/hour
Net rate of intake= 3 units/hour
So after 6 hours you would have 18 units still in your system, which would take a further 18 hours to dissipate.
This assumes you are of average proportions
Metabolic rate is also variable.

Urination has no connection with intoxication. By the time it reaches your bladder alcohol has been removed. Alcohol actually causes dehydration (beer or any other kind of alcoholic drink) - this is the main cause of hangovers. Always drink lots of water before you go to bed if you've had a drink.

Yes, it starts being processed within your system very soon after consumption. However, if you continue to drink you are going to continue to add to the volume, and time, to have it be removed from your system. Not sure if the piss helps you get rid of it faster, but it sure makes you feel good!

no. that's not how alcohol leaves your body, because it first has to be absorbed into your blood and broken down by the liver. then you can piss it out. and most people with any logic would know that if you keep drinking, you will feel it more and more

Alcohol starts leaving your system first through your lungs. So I imagine its very quick after your first drink.

I was of the understanding that it took basically an 1 hour (on average) for 1 beer, glass of wine or shot of hard liquor to be processed by your liver.
That's why they say for drinking purposes that you should allow at least that amount of time before you drive. Of course, you could still be impaired and/or over the limit.
