It takes about one hour on average.
About one hour.
The rate that the liver can burn up the alcohol is 1/2 ounce per hour.
Alcohol is metabolized by the liver at a rate of one ounce per hour. 1 ounce of alcohol = one standard drink or beer.
A healthy human liver metabolizes alcohol at the rate of about 6/10ths of an ounce of pure ethanol per hour.
The liver metabolizes alcohol so it doesn't stay there long.
It takes the liver approximately one hour to metabolise one ounce of alcohol. It would take approximately 6 hours to eliminate 6 ounces of alcohol.
*****THE HUMAN BODY HAS A "FILTER"*****THINK OF YOUR LIVER AS A "FILTER" for your body. Everything that you ingest, goes through your liver before it leaves your body in the form of waste. Medications, alcohol, vitamins, poisons, etc... ALL pass through the "filter" (your liver). If you drink alcohol over a long period of time, it takes it's toll on your liver, like a filter that is overworked. Same thing if you take medications, even Tylenol, or just about anything in large quantities over a period of time, it taxes or overworks your liver, and the liver can become damaged and inflamed. Cirrhosis is one type of inflammation of the liver, caused by too much alcohol. Alcohol mixed with medication also can overwork the liver, causing damage. Tylenol bottles now carry a warning label about mixing alcohol and Tylenol. They have found cases of liver damage and even liver failure when the two are mixed, in medium to large doses. So poison is not the only thing that can "hurt" your liver. It is only one extreme example of what can hurt your liver.
No. Alcohol is metabolized by the liver.
Alcohol is removed from your system by the liver at a rate of about 1/3 to 1/2 ounce of pure alcohol per hour, regardless of your age (except for small children). That is a rate of about 1 beer an hour, more or less.
liver
Your liver is the main organ that deals with digesting alcohol, drinking alcohol sends it to the stomach, and it then goes directly to the liver, with breaks down the enzymes that make it up in the first place.
