A member asked:
If you throw up after drinking does that mean that the alcohol has left your system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no.: The alcohol that was in your stomach has left the system, but what has been absorbed into your blood stream must be metabolized by the alcohol dehydrogenase system in your liver. This system clears alcohol at a rate of about 20 mg/dl per hour.
