AnswerNot quite. The body can metabolize one standard drink--which is 0.45 ounce of alcohol--in an hour.Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYour liver is the main place in your body where alcohol is broken down. ... The average person will take about an hour to process 10 grams of alcohol
It causes fatty tissue to build up in the liver, it suppresses enzymes needed to break down toxins in the body, and it causes scar tissue to form inside the liver (cirrhosis).
alcohol can show up to 7 days they have u.a test now that check for enzymes that you liver produces to break down the alcohol in your system that still hang around long after the alcohol is gone so don't drink if your having to take random u.a tests!
No. Alcohol is metabolized by the liver.
liver
The rate that the liver can burn up the alcohol is 1/2 ounce per hour.
No. Isopropyl alcohol does not affect the liver in the same way as ethyl alcohol. Furthermore, the effects on the liver come from the functioning of a living liver (!) dealing with alcohol for long periods of time. The conditions possible in an experiment would have no valid relationship to the actual course of alcoholic liver disease.
The abuse of alcohol over a period of many years or decades increases the risk of harm to the liver.
corrosive of the liver
Theoretically, it takes your body one hour to get rid of one unit of alcohol. However, this figure will vary from person to person, since that figure was based on "the average 12 stone male with a fully functioning liver". Clearly, anyone smaller than this will take longer to break down one unit of alcohol, as will anyone with a less-than-fully-funtioning liver. It's not exactly possible to say how long it will take to break down an 11oz bottle of beer without knowing the alcohol percentage or amount of units within that bottle.
On average, by US measure, one hour.
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.
