What do you mean? Do you mean " how long does it take an adult to completely break down (metabolize) a single drink?"
One hour for one shot, one regular serving of wine, or one beer.
four hours
how long will it take a 70-kg individual to metabolize one 260-calorie serving of ice cream while playing soccer?
It should take about an hour after consuming a standard drink (five ounces) of dinner wine for the alcohol to be metabolized.
On average the body is able to metabolize about 2 ounces of alcohol per hour which is about 1 beer, 1 mixed drink or 1 average glass of wine. There are variables though so to be safe; just do not drink. A really long time.
The rule of thumb is one hour for every drink. That is about how long it takes your body to metabolize the alcohol. A "drink" is one shot, one 4-oz glass of wine, or one 12-oz beer. If you have been drinking strong mixed drinks, it may take much longer.
The liver can metabolize between 0.3 and 0.5 ounces of pure alcohol per hour.If you mean how much can it take before it shuts down completely, that varies with individuals. The overall answer is a tremendous amount, but it suffers damage long before it shuts down, and the damage is irreversible.
It takes approximately one hour for the liver to metabolize one unit of alcohol.
it varies depending upon what drink it is
no try to aviod it
On average, the liver can metabolize one alcoholic drink per hour. When more than this is consumed, the excess circulates in the blood until the liver can metabolize it. For every drink consumed, the body needs an hour to get rid of it. If someone drinks five drinks in on hour, it will take 5 hours to be sober.
