How long does beer take to leave blood?

- Gender

- Weight

- Body fat percentage

- Hydration status

- Amount of alcohol consumed

- Rate of alcohol consumption

In general, it takes about one hour for the body to metabolize (break down) one standard drink. A standard drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of hard liquor.

For example, if you weigh 150 pounds and drink two beers in one hour, it will take about two hours for the alcohol to leave your blood.

However, if you drink four beers in one hour, it will take about four hours for the alcohol to leave your blood.

Drinking on an empty stomach, being female, and being dehydrated can all slow down the rate at which alcohol is metabolized.

You can speed up the rate at which alcohol is metabolized by:

- Drinking plenty of water

- Eating a meal before or while drinking

- Exercising

- Getting a good night's sleep

It is important to note that even if the alcohol has left your blood, it can still affect your judgment and coordination. Wait until the next day to be safe.

Never drink and drive.
