How much can drinking affect your baby if you dont know your pregnant?

It is best not to drink while you are pregnant. However you did not know you were pregnant so don't worry yourself about the past (because there is nothing you can do to change it) just make sure that from now on you avoid alcohol, drugs, smoking and second hand smoke. I am sure things will be fine with your baby but as you are obviously concerned, it would be best for you see a qualified doctor.

How long does alcohol stay in the placenta?

It depends on your body weight and the consumption amount you intake, it also depends if you eat and drink water before you consume alcohol. Alcohol takes longer to pass threw the placenta, and your blood stream, your body basicly absorbs it into the blood stream threw your stomach wall, not digest. did you know that if you pore alcohol on your arm you can still get the same effect if you were drinking it because its so absorbant. So yes, it will take hours maybe even a day or two before alcohol is no longer in your blood or placenta for those who are pregnant.
