If you have been drinking, how long will it be before that alcohol will not show up on a blood test? I have done some research and nothing is really coming up.
Thanks!

And will alcohol affect the outcomes of blood tests, or will it just show up as being in the blood?

It depends on your size/body weight and how much you have drank. A person of 240+ lbs will not feel a shot of Tequila as much as person of 120 lbs, but the process of getting rid of it from your system is somewhat in the same range. You can check some of your local DMV handbooks under the sections about drinking and driving, or online. Some DMV sites show charts of body weight and the amount of time it takes for alchohol effects to wear off, however I do believe your question was the amount of time it takes for alchohol to be out of your blood stream, your system, not just the effects of it.
In that case, by how much you drank, it can take from 3 days to 2 weeks (dramatically depending on how much you drink, and your metabolism). If you want a helpful tip to speed up the process of this, drink a good amount of Cranberry juice in your diet, it flushes your system, Cranberry is better for clearing your system of such things, I believe Gtreen Tea is good too, but I doubt it's anti-oxidants work the same way Cranberry does to clear your bloodstream.

Depends on how much you drink it takes my system over a day to clear out just because of my intensive consumption. But I've heard that it's on a average of 2.5% that is in your blood stream an hour so if your at a .08 it would take you aproxx 3.15 hrs to be sober and another 12 hrs or so after your sober to prosess the excess toxins out of your bloodstream.

Here is the rule of thumb. It takes approximately 1 hour for the body to get rid of 1 ounce of alcohol depending on your size. So, if you drink a 4 ounce shot for instance, wait 4 hours for your body to get rid of all the alcohol......drink responsibly.

It varies depending on health, body weight, metabolism, etc, but the general "rule of thumb" is to give yourself about an hour per drink. So, if you've had a beer, a shot of whiskey, and a glass of wine, you need three hours for the alcohol to clear your system.

There are too many variables for anyone to give a specific answer to this one. IT can show up in a Breathalyzer test and in a blood test.
Here's clue, though, and it a free one. If you don't drink, you don't have to worry about passing a field sobriety or blood alcohol test.

you should be able to pass an alcohol test (like a drug test) after 70-80 hours, depending on your size, drinking alot of water can speed it up.

Your body will get rid of 1 drink per hour.
