The rate at which the human body metabolizes alcohol varies from person to person. On average, it is estimated that the human body can eliminate roughly one standard drink per hour.
A standard drink typically contains about 14 grams (0.6 ounces) of pure alcohol, which is equivalent to 1.5 ounces (44 milliliters) of distilled spirits, 5 ounces (148 milliliters) of wine, or 12 ounces (355 milliliters) of regular beer.
However, it's important to note that factors such as body weight, metabolism, liver function, hydration levels, and individual differences can affect the rate at which alcohol is processed and eliminated from the body. Additionally, consuming alcohol at a faster rate than the body can metabolize can result in intoxication and potential impairment, regardless of the estimated elimination rate.
