The liver can metabolize one ounce of alcohol in one hour. Assuming each shot is one ounce, it would take three hours.
The number of drinks it takes for a person to become legally drunk varies based on several factors, including their weight, gender, metabolism, and the alcohol content of the drinks. In the U.S., a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% is considered legally drunk. Generally, for an average adult, consuming 2-4 standard drinks within a couple of hours may lead to reaching this threshold, but individual responses to alcohol can differ significantly. Always drink responsibly and be aware of local laws regarding alcohol consumption.
At eight hours, three or four drinks should be out of the bloodstream. You can get a DUI with zero blood alcohol.
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.
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%
as long as the person still have his or her drinking habit.
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.
4 to 6 hours after
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.
If by 14 drinks you mean 14 units of alcohol - then the body processes 1 unit every hour thus it would take 14-15 hours for you to be free from the alcohol.
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!!!!!!!!!!
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 !
The number of drinks it takes for an individual to reach a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level that would result in a breathalyzer reading of 0.13% can vary widely based on factors like body weight, metabolism, and the type of alcohol consumed. On average, it may take around 4-5 standard drinks for a person weighing around 160 pounds within a couple of hours to reach that level. However, it's essential to remember that alcohol affects everyone differently, and consuming any amount of alcohol impairs judgment and coordination. Always drink responsibly and consider the legal limits and health guidelines.
