That would depend on the stomach contents; food, for example will slow absorption, but will not stop it from occurring. (Thus the idea that food will keep you from getting drunk is inaccurate.) Most, if not all, will be absorbed in 20 - 30 minutes.

Many DUI accidents occur because people believed they were just fine to drive*, and then on the way home "one for the road" kicked in.

*We should remember, too, that good judgment is one of the first things to go when the brain begins to be anesthetized by alcohol.
