Elimination : Elimination of alcohol alcohol is eliminated from the body by excretion and metabolism. Most alcohol is metabolized, or burned, in a manner similar to food, yielding carbon dioxide and water. A small portion of alcohol is excreted, such as through the breath, leaving the body as alcohol, unchanged. It is this latter process that allows for breath alcohol testing. Average rate of elimination elimination occurs at a constant rate for a given individual.The median rate of decrease in bac is considered to be 15 milligrams per cent (mg%) per hour. The range of decrease in bac is 10-20 mg% per hour. This range represents the extreme ends of the rate encountered in a normal population. Most people eliminate at a rate of between 13 and 18 mg% per hour. Of these, the majority eliminates at the higher end. Very few people eliminate at as low a rate as 10 mg% per hour. If you drank a 5th one night, the next morning at 10:00, your blood alcohol would still be very high (over 100 mg per 100 ml of blood). The real question is, "why are you drinking a 5th in the first place?" this is dangerous in either the acute or the chronic setting, and you may want to consider psychosocial counseling or attending an aa meeting. Many people face problems with addictions to alchol, drugs, food, etc... You are not alone. Please seek help.
