Final answer:

Alcohol is not cleared within 60 minutes of the stop-service time. It takes at least five hours for a legally intoxicated person to achieve sobriety.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is false. All signs of alcohol are not cleared within 60 minutes of the stop-service time. Alcohol is metabolized by the liver at a rate of about 3.3 mmol/L (15 mg/dL) per hour. The legal limit for intoxication is a BAC of 0.08, which typically takes at least five hours to metabolize and achieve sobriety.
