The liver metabolizes alcohol so it doesn't stay there long.
The rate that the liver can burn up the alcohol is 1/2 ounce per hour.
About one hour.
Depends on how long and how much you have been drinking.
How long does it take for alchohol to be processed by the liver?
it takes about 12 hours
It takes about one hour on average.
It takes approximately one hour for the liver to metabolize one unit of alcohol.
For a normal person with a healthy liver, alcohol is metabolized at around 0.02% BAC per hour. One drink, depending on body mass, is about 0.02% BAC, so one drink would take one hour to clear, five drinks would take five hours to clear, etc.
A healthy human liver metabolizes alcohol at the rate of about 6/10ths of an ounce of pure ethanol per hour.
The liver functions normally while a person is drinking. It is the liver that primarily metabolizes the alcohol being consumed.Another Answer:The liver is stressed while metabolizing alcohol. Alcohol (ab)use is one of the primary causes of liver failure.
It takes approximately twenty-four to forty-eight hours for elevated liver enzymes to return to normal after cessation of alcohol consumption. For smaller individuals, it can take even longer.
liver disfunctions, pancreas, changes in a brain ( even alcohol releted dementia), lack of libido :)
