1/2 an ounce per hour. The more alcohol you put into your body, the higher your BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration). If you chug drink after drink, your liver, which metabolizâ¦es 1/2 ounce of alcohol an hour, won't be able to keep up -- and your BAC will soar.
How does alcohol move through the body? Once swallowed, a drink enters the stomach and small intestine, where small blood vessels carry it to the bloodstream. Approximately 20% of alcohol is absorbed through the stomach and most of the remaining 80% is absorbed through the small intestine. Alcohol is metabolized by the liver, where enzymes break down the alcohol. In general, the liver can process one ounce of liquor (or one standard drink) in one hour. If you consume more than this, your system becomes saturated, and the additional alcohol will accumulate in the blood and body tissues until it can be metabolized.
