How long will 2, 8 oz 8% alcohol drinks stay in my system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
About 3-5 hrs: That is about consistent with 3 (x 12 ounce) beers (or other equivalent alcoholic drinks). Depending on your body size (and % body fat, which i will be courteous & not ask), can metabolize about 3/4 to 1 drink-equivalent per hour. Can be slower if on meds, have liver disease, are american indian or certain asian descents.
