The metabolic and absorption rates of alcohol vary based on factors of body weight, sex, genetics and the effects of eating. The going rule is that for an adult the liver can cope with one drink, as defined by a shot, a can of beer, or a glass of wine, per hour. This is not to suggest that indefinite consumption is healthy, or this equation is meets blood alcohol concentrations that are permitted for driving.

Whereas a person's ability one day, may not be the same two days later. It would be safe to assume that the liver couldn't oxidize even one drink per hour, In many cases studies, it could take up to 3 hours for one drink. (a drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits, all of which contain the same amount of alcohol.) The BAC, (Blood Alcohol Content) can usually measure one's ability of the amount of alcohol a person can consume before impairment based on their weight, height and sex. Their age also plays into the factor, but marginally. Cases have also prove that even one drink could impair a person's abilities.
