Specializes in Addiction Medicine

The alcohol itself: Stays in the body only for 8 to 12 hours. However, the changes made to your liver, brain, nervous system may take longer to resolve. Of course the more one drinks, the longer it takes to recover. That is why a person should only drink in moderation, and if that is not possible, then they should not drink at all.
