How long does it takes for alcohol to leave your body?

Alcohol is metabolized at the rate of about 1 unit (0.6 oz)of pure alcohol per hour. One unit is the amount found in one 12 oz. beer, one standard shot, or one 6 oz. glass of wine. Therefore, a 12-pack would take a minimum of 12 to 15 hours to clear your system, depending on how long it took you to drink it.


How long does it take your body to get rid of 11oz 1 bottle of flavored beer?

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.
