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. While there is no agreement on the exact rate, most research has concluded that the liver can process about 0.25 fluid ounces of alcohol per hour (some find a higher rate, while some lower). This rate is largely independent of your weight or gender.
Alcohol leaves the body of at a conservative rate of about 0.5 oz. alcohol per hour or .015 percent of blood alcohol content (BAC) per hour. This is an average rate at which the liver can metabolize (burn off) alcohol. The result is that it can take many times longer to sober up than it took to become intoxicated.lcohol leaves the body of at a conservative rate of about 0.5 oz. alcohol per hour or .015 percent of blood alcohol content (BAC) per hour.
