Approximately 10% of all alcohol consumed is eliminated from the body through processes such as respiration, perspiration, and urination. The majority of alcohol is metabolized by the liver, where enzymes break it down into acetaldehyde and then into acetic acid before it is ultimately eliminated. This metabolic process accounts for about 90% of alcohol elimination.

About 10 percent of all alcohol eliminated by the body comes from where?

About 10 percent of all alcohol eliminated by the body comes from the lungs through exhalation. This process is the basis for breathalyzer tests, which measure the concentration of alcohol in the breath as a reflection of blood alcohol levels. The remaining alcohol is metabolized primarily by the liver, with small amounts eliminated through urine and sweat.

Approximately what percentage of alcohol in the body is eliminated via the urine and breath?

Approximately 5% total, and that includes not only breath and urine, but sweat, tears, saliva, breast milk and all other forms of excretion, plus non-oxidative metabolism as well. The vast majority (~95%) has to be physically metabolized (broken down) through oxidation first to acetaldehyde, then to acetic acid. This occurs primarily in the liver through the enzymes alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehyrdogenase (ALDH). A small amount of ADH activity occurs in the stomach while the alcohol is still being absorbed .

How to get a prescription drug out of the body?

Depends on how the drug is metabolized (broken down) and/or excreted (eliminated) from the body. Some drugs are broken down by the liver, then eliminated in your urine or feces. Some drugs are not broken down at all and may be eliminated in your urine or feces. Therefore you would need to provide which drug(s) you are referring to.
