The general rule of one hour for every standard unit consumed. (or 1 shot liquor, 4 oz wine, 8 oz beer) may be used, but keep in mind several issues, as listed below.
This is a variable thing. The more alcohol that is consumed, the longer it takes for it to be eliminated from the body. To be on the safe side, 24 hours should elapse (even though several hours is long enough in most instance of light drinking, where one or two drinks are consumed.). It takes longer for women to eliminate alcohol, in general (than men), and 50% of the Asian population (in the world) have very little to no alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme, with which to eliminate alcohol - so this is yet another variable.

∙ 13y agoUnlike other drugs, which show an exponential decrease in blood concentration, alcohol is metabolized at a relatively constant rate. The rate at which alcohol is metabolized depends on many factors, including age, weight, ethnicity, metabolic tolerance and the effects of other drugs and nutrients. About 5% of the alcohol that a person consumes is excreted in the urine; the rest is metabolized by the liver. As a very rough approximation, an adult male can metabolize one ounce (30ml) of 80-proof alcohol per hour. (Based on blood alcohol concentration response curves published in Wilkinson et al., Journal of Pharmacokinetics and Biopharmaceutics 5(3):207-224, 1977. Other sources can be found which cite rates 50% higher and lower than that.)

Can a person detoxify 4 ounces of alcohol per hour?
No. A healthy male liver can handle about .6 ounces per hour; a female, slightly less.
What is the rate of detoxification of alcohol in the body how many ounces per hour?
0.6 ounces per hour
Can body eliminate about 5 ounces of alcohol per hour?
No
The body can eliminate about 5 ounces of alcohol per hour?
No
How many hours does it take for your body to metabolize alcohol?
Alcohol is metabolized by the liver, at the rate of about 0.6 ounces (14 ml) per hour of pure alcohol (assuming a healthy liver).
Flush alcohol from body?
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.
How long will it take a glass of wine to get out of blood system?
It should take about an hour after consuming a standard drink (five ounces) of dinner wine for the alcohol to be metabolized.
How many drinks does a body absord in a hour?
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.
What is a equals one standard drink of alcohol?
depends on what the alcohol is. the percentage of alcohol is printed on the bottle, so if you drink a one ounce shot of bacardi 151, the amount of alcohol is .755 ounces. Say a beer is twelve ounces with an alcohol percentage of 5.5 percent means there are .66 ounces.
What is the thing that can remove alcohol from your system?
The body removes alcohol at the rate of about 1/3 ounce per hour: about 10 hours for three ounces. There is no way to speed it up.
How long to metabolize alcohol?
It takes the liver approximately one hour to metabolise one ounce of alcohol. It would take approximately 6 hours to eliminate 6 ounces of alcohol.
How long does it take for alcohol to be eliminated from body?
Alcohol leaves the body at the rate of about .015 of BAC per hour.
