How long does it take alcohol to get out of your blood?

Answer 1

As a general rule of thumb, the major metabolite in alcohol, can be detected in your blood for up to 24 hours and as gross as it sounds...in your urine for up to 48 hours.

There are a number of things about what you drink that can vary these figures, including:

* Strength of the drink

* Quantity consumed

* How it is consumed

* Frequency of your drinking

* The presence of other drugs

* Your mood and environment of use

Other factors specific to you include:

* your tolerance

* your sex and age

* your overall health & well-being

* your general metabolic state

These variables all interact to make it hard to accurately define a time when it will be out of your system.

Answer 2

Alcohol typically takes about one hour for your body to metabolize each standard drink. However, this can vary depending on individual factors such as weight, metabolism, and hydration levels. It's best to wait until you no longer feel the effects of alcohol before driving or engaging in activities that require full alertness.
