The correct answer is one hour.

Assuming that the drink contains one ounce of alcohol, the liver of an average healthy person will process one alcoholic drink per hour. Any alcohol that a person consumes above what the liver can process circulates in a person’s blood, which is where the term blood alcohol level comes from.
