How is alcohol eliminated from the body after drinking?

Correct answer

Gradually, and it can take many hours depending on consumption and individual.

Gradually, with timing varying by amount consumed and individual; it can take many hours. Do not use a fixed hourly rate or a wait of a few hours to guarantee fitness to drive. Coffee, showers or exercise do not replace the time needed for metabolism. If you have been drinking, do not drive; use alternative transport.
