This is official.
I unit of alcohol equals a single measure of spirit, 1 glass of wine and half a pint of beer (assuming they're all 'normal' percentages of alcohol).
It takes 1 hour for 1 unit to get into the body's system (one and a half hours for females). It then takes a further 1 hour for the liver to process it (again, another one and a half for females).
Therefore, 5 units of alcohol (the recommended maximum a man is allowed to drink before he exceeds the 'drink-drive' limit) would take 6 hours for the liver to process and for it to leave the body and to be undetectable by a 'breathalyser'.
(The maximum for a female is 3 units (sorry girls!), which would also take 6 hours to clear).
So the answer to your question is one hour per unit consumed, plus one hour, for men and one and a half hours per unit, plus one and a half hours, for females.
Note :
It's not so much whether or not there are 'traces' of alcohol left in your body that's important, it's the irreparable damage done to the liver by drinking too much. (George Best, famous British footballer, died of from liver failure through alcohol abuse, for example). Drink in moderation - Be sensible!!
The liver metabolises about one standard drink per hour if it's working well. This means that the time it takes to clear depends on how much you drink.
Depends on the type of test. The body metabolizes alcoholic a rate of .06 oz of absolute alcohol (the amount found in standard drinks of beer, wine, and spirits) every hour. .
Up to about 96 hours in urine; several weeks in hair.
Twenty-four to forty-eight hours, depending on the quantity consumed.
5.33 hours in urine for 1 drink
24 hours
24 hrs.
6 hours after last drink
