Question

How long do you have to wait after you've drank alchol to drive ?

Answer 1

An average size adult will metabolize one drink of alcohol per hour.  By one drink, we're talking a 4-ounce glass of wine, a 1.5 ounce shot of distilled spirits (i.e. vodka, whiskey, etc.), or a 12-ounce beer (with 3-4%ABV).

If you're smaller...it may only be 3/4 drink per hour.

Answer 2

well it depends on your body weight

but id wait 12 hours no matter what just to make sure

Answer 3

if you're a normal size and weight, the body metabolises the alcohol at a rate of  .015 of blood alcohol concentration (BAC) every hour. (about 5 or so hours for an illegal .08 bac to go completely away but not to go below the illegal amount)

Answer 4

About 2 hours.

Answer 5

1 hour per shot/drink, generally. everyones metabolism is different.
