The liver can metabolize one ounce of alcohol in one hour. Assuming each shot is one ounce, it would take three hours.

Can a person get a DUI if they told an officer that they drank 3 to 4 cocktails 8 hours before driving?
At eight hours, three or four drinks should be out of the bloodstream. You can get a DUI with zero blood alcohol.
Will alcohol be out of your system on Monday if you have 2 or 3 drinks on a Saturday?
If we are being honest about 2 or 3 drinks it will take about 24 hours to sufficiently purge the alcohol from your system. However, if the two or three drinks turn into several it may take awhile longer.

How long will it take for 10 drinks to leave your system?
adult males take an hour to process one ounce of alcohol, so for a 80 proof shot of vodka, that is 40% alcohol, therefore one shot is 40% of an ounce, so 20 min per shot, 200 minutes for 10 shots, or just over three hours, it depends on the proof of the alcohol, the amount of liquor in the mixed drink, the age and weight of the person, and each person processes it at a different speed. Look at the % alcohol on the bottle, beer and wine have much lower %, remember 80 proof means 40%, 70 proof means 35%, beer tends to be between 6-8%
Will eating food while drinking lower your blood alcohol level?
It doesn't necessarily lower your blood alcohol level but while you eat your body has to metabolize the food you are consuming and it will keep your body energetic (so to speak) by processing your food and it will help process the alcohol faster than just drinking alone. If one person drinks 5 beers in 3 hours and eats 3 slices of pizza and another person drinks 5 beers and in 3 hours the person who ate pizza might have a lower alcohol content. It wouldn't be enough to be acceptable to pass a toxic screen by police though and wouldn't make enough difference to allow you to drive. You would notice more of a difference when you experience the hangover the next morning because you went to bed with a slightly lower alcohol content but your body kept metabolizing the food and alcohol.

How much alcohol can a 120 pound person drink before getting alcohol poisoning?
That would depend on how rapidly you drank it, your gender, and whether you are an experienced drinker with tolerance to alcohol (on the way to becoming an alcoholic, in other words). Eight or ten drinks (5 - 6 ounces of pure alcohol) in a couple of hours would put a 120-pounder in the 0.30 range, which is fatal in some cases.
How does how fast that you drink influence the way alcohol affects tha BAC?
A simple way to calculate your BAC is with the following equation APPROXIMATE FORMULA: BAC=(drinks/2)*(Gender_Constant/Weight) - 0.016*Hours. Where 'drinks' is the number of drinks you have had, the 'Gender Constant' is 9.0 for men and 7.5 for women, 'Weight' is your weight in lbs and 'Hours' is how many hours you have been drinking. Following this equation we see that your body is able to reduce your BAC by 0.016 per every hour, thus if a male of weight 150lbs had 6 drinks in an hour their BAC would be 0.1639. If the same person had the same amount of drinks but spaced them out to 3 hours his BAC would be 0.132. That is why it is recommended that you space out your drinking. !!!!!!!!IMPORTANT: THIS IS AN APPROXIMATE EQUATION. DO NOT BASE YOUR DRINKING ON THIS EQUATION!!!!!!!!!!
What is your bac if you have 7 drinks in 7 hours?
Impossible to answer accurately ! It depends on your metabolism and what you're drinking ! The amount of alcohol in five half-glasses of shandy is considerably less than that in five double whisky's ! Similarly, a smaller, thinner person would have a higher count than a taller, fatter person !
How long it take the average person to digest one drink?

Can a breathalyzer detect 8 drinks in 32 hours?
The human body is capable (on average) of metabolizing approx. an ounce of alcohol within 4 hours time. Thus; If you measured them out, and paced yourself to drink eight 1 Oz. drinks every 4 hours, depending upon your body's ability to metabolize them, it might not show up as measurable amount at the end of the 32 hours period. NOW: It all depends on how the drinks were spaced out over the 32 hours. More towards the front of the time period - the better. More towards the end of the time period - worse. All this is an entirely academic exercise however. The Breathalyzer measures the amount of alcohol in a person's body AT THE TIME THE TEST IS GIVEN, and will give an accurate reading of that persons level of intoxication (or lack thereof) MEASURED AT THAT POINT IN TIME.
