How many ounces of alcohol can body oxidize in one hour?
The body does not actually "oxidize" alcohol, it absorbs and processes it. The rate at which a person can absorb alcohol is really contingent upon the health of their liver. A healthy liver can process about a half and ounce of pure alcohol (ethanol) per hour. That equals about a 12oz beer, a 5oz glass of wine, or 1.5 oz of 40 proof liquor. A diseased or poorly functioning liver processes less per hour. While the liver is busy processing as much alcohol as it can, the rest circulates through the body and brain. The more alcohol a person drinks above the .5 oz per hour, the more intoxicated they become. The more intoxicated a person becomes, the higher their risk for alcohol related problems. Because most livers function at about the same speed, a person's size merely determines the area that the alcohol has to move through while waiting for the liver. A smaller person has less mass, so the alcohol that hasn't been processed yet is more concentrated. A larger person has more mass, so the alcohol in the system is less concentrated. Smaller people typically feel the effects of alcohol sooner than a larger person.
