First we need to define "drink."
A standard drink is any drink that contains about 14 grams of pure alcohol (about 0.6 fluid ounces or 1.2 tablespoons), roughly one shot of 80-proof, 5 ounces of wine, or one 12-oz. American beer. It is based on the amount of alcohol that a healthy liver can metabolize in one hour. Therefore, 1 drink = 1 hour to clear from the body.
The problem is that "heavy drinkers" rarely drink standard drinks if they can help it. They order doubles, cocktails with more than one shot of booze, boilermakers and so forth. Therefore the term "drink" is pretty vague, and there is no way we can give a precise answer to your question.

The average male can metabolize one serving of alcohol (one 12oz beer, one 3.5oz glass of wine, one shot of hard liquor) per hour. If you drink for a long time or many drinks at once, your body begins to lag a bit and it takes a bit longer to metabolize. If you are a girl it takes longer as well.
How long does liquor stay in your blood?
On average, the liver can metabolize one alcoholic drink per hour. When more than this is consumed, the excess circulates in the blood until the liver can metabolize it. For every drink consumed, the body needs an hour to get rid of it. If someone drinks five drinks in on hour, it will take 5 hours to be sober.

How long does it take for drugs to leave your system?
It depends on the half-life of the particular drug you are interested in and a persons age, sex, and general health. Drugs are metabolized by the liver, and older people, such as 70 year olds, metabolize drugs much slower than someone in their twenties. Furthermore, if you have a damaged liver, you will also metabolize drugs slower. The longer it takes you to metabolize the drug the longer it stays in your system.
