The normal, healthy liver can process about 1/2 ounce of pure alcohol (thatâs 6 to 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1 ounce of spirits) in an hour.
And, though the liver does most of the work metabolizing alcohol, the process does begin in the stomach with an enzyme called ADH. Women have less ADH activity in their stomachs, which means more of the alcohol reaches the bloodstream.
