No, the average person cannot eliminate 1 oz. of alcohol per hour from their system. The average person can eliminate 0.5 oz. of alcohol from their body per hour.

2 quarters = oz No it's not there is 4 quarters in a ounce 2 quarters = half ounce
An ounce is a measure of mass, not weight. A dime weighs 2.56 ounce-weight.
Alcohol leaves your system at a rate of about 1 ounce per hour of 80 proof liquor for the average person. So, a 3 ounce martini will take nearly 3 hours for the alcohol to leave your system for the average person. Everyone's metabolic rate is different of course and your activity and health will affect the actual rate.
It takes the liver approximately one hour to metabolise one ounce of alcohol. It would take approximately 6 hours to eliminate 6 ounces of alcohol.
It takes about one hour on average.
The liver can metabolize one ounce of alcohol in one hour. Assuming each shot is one ounce, it would take three hours.
Yes. A healthy liver metabolizes pure alcohol at the rate of about 6/10ths of an ounce per hour.

Impossible question to answer because every individual's metabolism processes alcohol at a slightly different rate. The general rule of thumb is that the metabolism of an 'average' human being can process about 1 ounce of alcohol per hour.
There is a detailed scientific formula that can be done to determine the answer to this question based on when the person last ate, when their first and last drink was, and what the BAC was, HOWEVER, absent all of that information, most people accept that the average person eliminates .02 per hour.Therefore, if you were at the legal limit of .08, it would take the average person 4 hours to have no detectable alcohol in their system.Added: Perhaps a simpler, easier to understand method of calculation . . . the average adult body can process and metabolize apoproximately 1 ounce of alcohol every hour.
Alcohol is metabolized by the liver at a rate of one ounce per hour. 1 ounce of alcohol = one standard drink or beer.
One fluid ounce of rubbing alcohol typically weighs about 0.98 ounces.
The body does not actually "oxidize" alcohol, it absorbs and processes it. The rate at which a person can absorb alcohol is really contingent upon the health of their liver. A healthy liver can process about a half and ounce of pure alcohol (ethanol) per hour. That equals about a 12oz beer, a 5oz glass of wine, or 1.5 oz of 40 proof liquor. A diseased or poorly functioning liver processes less per hour. While the liver is busy processing as much alcohol as it can, the rest circulates through the body and brain. The more alcohol a person drinks above the .5 oz per hour, the more intoxicated they become. The more intoxicated a person becomes, the higher their risk for alcohol related problems. Because most livers function at about the same speed, a person's size merely determines the area that the alcohol has to move through while waiting for the liver. A smaller person has less mass, so the alcohol that hasn't been processed yet is more concentrated. A larger person has more mass, so the alcohol in the system is less concentrated. Smaller people typically feel the effects of alcohol sooner than a larger person.
One standard drink typically equals a 12-ounce beer with 5% alcohol content, a 5-ounce glass of wine with 12% alcohol content, or a 1.5-ounce shot of distilled spirits with 40% alcohol content.
