We have all heard the rule of thumb that your liver can process one beer an hour. I've never been sold on the claim, here's why.

This rate is largely independent of your weight or gender.
Report Abuse. It depends on how much you've had to drink. Your liver can process about 1 serving (one 1.5oz shot of hard alcohol, one 12oz beer, or one 6oz glass of wine) per hour.
