How Long Does Alcohol Stay In Your Body System?

Question

I have to get a drug test taken for a job sometime & it will be totaly random. But my friend said it takes 30 days. I dont believe that; it cant be possible for them to track that!

Answer 1

I was always told 3 days, naturally.  There are kits on line you can buy that can get rid of it in 90 minutes.  There's also kits in our health food stores.

Until metabolized, you should be working it off.  12 hours.

A great way to get rid of anything in your system is to buy from http://www.directdetox.com I have used them in the past and the service is awesome. Family run operation that understands how you feel and how much privacy is a concern. Fantastic place, I can't say enough about it! They have home drug test kits too and they can ship overnight too!

Answer 6

Unless the alcohol you drink is seriously spiked with marijuana, there's no way it will take 30 days to leave your system. Alcohol is water-soluble, which means that your body is working hard to get rid of whatever it doesn't need by eliminating it through urination. That's why people who are drunk have to pee a lot more often than they do when they're sober.

A substance that is fat-soluble, such as marijuana, will stay in your system much longer because it is stored in the body's fat cells instead of being eliminated through urination. That's why, if someone smokes marijuana and then takes a test 2 days later, they'll show up positive. If you drink alcohol and test 2 days later, there's no way ur coming up positive.

So unless, you drink heavily every single day, you should be fine.

If you're still paranoid about it whenever you drink, just drink lots of water in conjunction with the alcohol, and make sure you go to the bathroom every time you feel the urge because then you'll know you're flushing it out.

Answer 7

Thirty days is for urine tests of weed, coke, etc.

They say it takes an average of 1 hour to work off the effects of a single drink, so if we assume that's the amount of time for the liver to process half the alcohol in the bloodstream, 4 drinks would work themselves out in 6-8 hours.

However, there is a limit to the rate at which the liver can break down alcohol.  If the amount of alcohol is more than twice the amount the liver can process in an hour, then the liver only takes the amount of alcohol it can handle.  This is why sometimes, when you drink a whole lot, you stay drunker longer than if you drink only slightly less.

I don't have the exact figures for the average person, but I'd say 24 hours is a good time to wait after heavy drinking.  A single drink or two after work could be out of the body entirely by morning.

Answer 8

you liver can filter .5 ounces of pure alcohol an hour (That's Pure alcohol which is not the whole drink) if you have .5 ounces every hour you will stay sober, but if you drink 10 ounces in one hour (not recommended) in 20 hours of not drinking you will be sober again.

Answer 9

When they send out your drivers license renewal (or some other DMV document, I can't remember which one), they include an alcohol chart.  From that chart it looks like average people burn off one ounce of alcohol an hour.

What does an ounce of alcohol look like?  I'm not sure, but it depends on the proof -- beer is lower proof and tequilla is higher proof, so a whole glass of beer probably burns off in an hour, and one shot of tequilla probably burns off in an hour.

Answer 10

7-10 days, but they`re not looking for alcohol, just drugs. You`re okay.

Answer 11

it takes about 1 hour (larger people quicker smaller people slower) per beer or glass of wine or shot.

Answer 12

it doesnt take long maybe 12 hours it will be gone when you wake up in the morning
