What percentage of alcohol is eliminated through blood sweat urine?

Approximately 90-95% of alcohol is metabolized by the liver and eliminated through urine, breath, and sweat. The remaining 5-10% is excreted unchanged in urine, sweat, and breath. While sweat and breath contribute to the overall elimination, their percentage is relatively small compared to urinary excretion. Therefore, urine is the primary route for alcohol elimination.
