The average amount of alcohol in a shot of bar liquor is about .6 ounces. The actual amount depends on how much the bartender likes you, or your waitress, or on how the machine is calibrated.
Moderate alcohol consumption means one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for men. Five fluid ounces of wine, 12 ounces of regular beer or 1.5 fluid ounces of distilled spirits is called one drink.
For a female one "standard drink" per day, for a male two per day. A standard drink is one 12-ounce beer, four ounces of wine, or one shot of liquor.
The liver metabolizes about 1/3 ounce of pure ethyl alcohol per hour.

The amount of alcohol in a standard drink varies in different countries, from 6 grams in Austria to 19.75 grams in Japan. (Japan, as a country, is in serious denial about the extent of their drinking problems. Binge drinking is sort of a national sport.)In the United States, a standard drink (unit) of alcohol is any drink that contains about 14 grams of pure alcohol (about 0.6 fluid ounces or 1.2 tablespoons). In the US, a standard drink is calculated as roughly the amount of alcohol that can be metabolized by the human body in one hour. In other words, if you drank one unit per hour you could (at least in theory) continue to drink indefinitely without becoming intoxicated. In fact, metabolic rates vary among individuals and by gender, so this is not even an accurate approximation.
No
You cannot flush alcohol from the body. It is metabolized at the rate of about .6 ounces of pure alcohol per hour (roughly, a bit less than one drink), and there is nothing you can do to speed it up. Six beers = 9 hours, more or less.
1hr per drink
per religion, it is forbidden to drink alcohols or any drink containing alcohols.
The general rule is the body can metabolize one drink per hour. 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. But, there are several variables in this. If you have eaten a meal before drinking, metabolizing is slowed. If it was high in fat slower yet. Women metabolize alcohol differently than men.
