How long do i have to wait until one drink will not be detected in a breathalyzer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: A normal, healthy liver can process roughly one drink per hour. That means that if you finish a drink at 6:00, you will generally be in the clear by 7:00. However, if you have a second one at 6:30, the time is added. You’ll have 30 minutes left from the first drink, plus the additional hour from the second one, meaning you’ll be intoxicated until 8:00.
