Question 1

how long does wine stay in your system?

Accepted Answer

Depends.: Depends on how much you drink.  Alcohol is cleared from the body at a rate of about 25 mg/dl per hour. Heavy drinkers may metabolize at a faster rate, but don't bet on it.  The legal limit in most states is 80 mg/dl.  All alcohol is metabolized at this rate.

Question 2

how long does a glass of wine stay in your system?

Accepted Answer

depends: A glass of wine is an amount called "a standard drink". It is "standard", because most people would metabolize it within one hour. To answer the question specifically for your body, not statistically, you need to conduct an experiment. Do not forget you might feel differently depending on the day, the level of tiredness, social environment, air temperature etc. Etc. Etc. Try.

Question 3

how long will 8 ounces of wine stay in your system for a saliva alcohol test?

Accepted Answer

ETG testing: Probably up to one week with the new etg testing. Better to just stay sober.

Question 4

what harmful effects does wine have on a woman's reproductive system?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol: None that any other alcoholic drink doesn't have as well. Women who are pregnant should avoid all alcohol, or keep to an absolute minimum. Women ttc but not pregannt should limit their alcohol consumption.

Question 5

i'm 19 and weigh around 100 pounds. how long should it take 3 glasses of wine to get out of my system. i didn't eat a lot the day i drank.

Accepted Answer

Getting wine out: It should take about 3 hours to get three glasses of wine out of your system.

Question 6

i drink alcohol every day, usually around half a bottle of wine, sometimes more (at weekends). have done this for around 8 years. i have decided to quit. how long will it take my immune system to recover from the damage done? will it recover?

Accepted Answer

No time at all: Alcohol itself does not significantly damage the immune system, even in the moderately large amounts you describe. Your immune system probably is fine; any possible effect from alcohol is gone within 24 hours. If you have liver damage, that could reduce your resistance to certain kinds of infection, but this effect usually is minor.

Question 7

i had about 2 glasses of wine with dinner.  i weigh 190.  i am a breastfeeding mother and need to know how long until it is out of my system.

Accepted Answer

The average woman: metabolizes off about 1 drink per hour. If they were normal sized glasses of wine, they should be out of your system in about 2 hours. Mild alcohol intake is not unsafe in breastfeeding, however. Just avoid heavy drinking. Hope this helps!

Question 8

i need to know if i should take my daughter to the er. she has taken a sleeping pill stilnox with a glass of wine. i read this might not be a goid idea? she has also not eaten. please advise if there is a way to get it out of her system

Accepted Answer

No worries: A single dose of Stilnox (zolpidem) with one glass of wine is harmless. You'd have to take a very large amount of alchol plus a large overdose of zolpidem to cause a serious health problem. (But no driving until the next day!)

Question 9

is wine good for you?

Accepted Answer

Depends: So the controversy with alcohol is heart vs breast cancer.  So for women no more than 1 glass (5oz) per day but if you have a strong risk for breast cancer than no more than three glasses per week since more than that has been associated with breast cancer.  I usually tell patients to keep it to about 3 at the most 4 and that usually keeps everyone pretty happy.

Question 10

is wine good for you?

Accepted Answer

Wine ?Healthy: Red wine is in general a safe occasional part of the human experience.  There is evidence that a small dose of this on a regular basis can be protective of heart disease.

But, those with some conditions may be harmed by red wine...Those with heartburn or reflux disease may have worsening symptoms. Those with the disease of addiction must remain abstinent from this common form of alcohol.
