It takes an average person’s body about _________ to get rid of the alcohol in one typical alcoholic drink.
Correct answer
- two hours
- one hour
- thirty minutes
Explanation
Your liver breaks down alcohol at a predictable rate. Typically, this is one standard drink per hour, where one standard drink equals 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor, 5 ounces of wine, or 12 ounces of beer. Neither black coffee nor exercise nor a cold shower can increase that rate.
