How much time does alcohol stay in your system for a blood and urine test?

Depends..: A blood alcohol test measures the amount of alcohol (ethanol) in your body. Alcohol is quickly absorbed into the blood and can be measured within minutes of having an alcoholic drink. But food in the stomach may increase the amount of time it takes for the blood alcohol to reach its highest level. http://www.webmd.com/mental-health/addiction/blood-alcohol#1

1 drink/hour: Typically the average adult will process 20mg%/hour. This amount of alcohol roughly equates to 1 standard drink. In females it can be less (16mg%/h). There are many things which will affect this rate between individuals (frequency of drinking, other medications, food at the same time). PLEASE consider whether your drinking is healthy or harmful. <a href="http://www.health.govt.nz/alcohol-and-drugs
