How long does it take for hard liquor to leave your system?

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.

How long does it take for each piece of alcohol onsumes to wear off?

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.

How many ounces of alcohol can body oxidize in one hour?

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.
