74 ounces of grain alcohol? Death. 74 ounces of liquor? If it doesn't kill you, you'll wanna die. Wine won't be that far off either. Beer, on the other hand, assuming a domestic (roughly 5% alcohol by volume)... not a big deal. Little more than a six-pack. Body height, weight, fat content, metabolism, and many other factors play a role as to the speed of an individual's metabolization of alcohol. Everyone is different, but roughly, it's an hour for every two drinks (According to TIPS, a bartender/server certification course.)
It should take about an hour after consuming a standard drink (five ounces) of dinner wine for the alcohol to be metabolized.
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.
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.
four hours
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.
four hours
It will typically take between 4 and 24 hours for 1.5 ounces of alcohol to get out of your system. The actual amount of time depends on body chemistry and the metabolism.
It takes approximately one hour for the liver to metabolize one unit of alcohol.
What do you mean? Do you mean " how long does it take an adult to completely break down (metabolize) a single drink?"
Alcohol is metabolized at a fairly constant rate of .015 of blood alcohol concentration (BAC) per hour, regardless of weight. Thus, for example, it would take ten hours for a person to completely metabolize the alcohol if he has a BAC of .15%.
The presence of alcohol over long periods affects the ability of the liver to metabolize fats.
One hour for one shot, one regular serving of wine, or one beer.
