How long after drinking alcohol will it take not to show up on a breathalyzer test?

The human liver metabolizes alcohol at the rate of approximately 0.6 ounces of pure alcohol per hour.
In order to calculate the time needed to remove all the alcohol, you would need to know exactly how much pure alcohol was consumed. Generally, the number of hours would equal the alcohol in ounces x 1.4, plus one hour, measured from the time you began drinking.
Note: this does not apply to the alcohol metabolites that are detected by ETG testing, which can remain in the body for several days in quantities sufficient for detection.
It varies depending on the sex and build of the person, but as a rough guide: for the average person, you have to wait approximately one hour per standard drink, but make sure you eat and drink lots to help just that extra little bit

Another View: Until your body metabolizes the alcohol in your blood it will continue to be excreted in your breath even in minute, but measurable, amounts.

∙ 14y agoI was told at a DUI ASAP class that it is .01 per half hour. When I was arrested I blew .08 and usually they put you in jail till you sober up- but because I was at the legal limit when arrested they released me because more than a half hour had passed, so I was back under the limit. But it depends on how drunk you are, and you have know way of knowing what you BAC is to know how long to wait.

∙ 9y agoThere are a large number of factors to be taken into account. How much alcohol? How quickly? How much do you weigh? These all affect the indication and testing. A 200 pound individual that drank a beer two hours ago will show up pretty much at zero. A 100 pound individual may still register. Someone that got legally drunk will take a lot of hours to show a zero, perhaps as much as 8 to 10 hours.

∙ 12y agoThat depends on how high a person's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is. Alcohol is metabolized at the rate of about .015 of BAC per hour.

It depends how much you drank over time; the blood alcohols dissipate over several hours.

How long will it take 6 odouls to not show up on breathalyzer?
Six O'douls are, in alcohol content, approximately equivalent to one can of 3.2-percent beer. (Ten of them are equivalent to one 5-percent beer like Bud is now.) For an average 150-pound person, drinking a whole six-pack of this product in one hour is like drinking one 3.2 beer in an hour. I'd be more worried about you getting sick from water intoxication than getting caught drinking, if you're drinking that much O'Douls.
When using a mouthwash will it show up on a breathalyzer?
Yes absolutely. Unless a mouthwash specifically says 'no alcohol', most mouthwashes contain a large amount of alcohol. However, the effect of the alcohol in the mouthwash only last for a short time, unlikely to be long enough for a test to prove positive - unless you are actually using the mouthwash in the car.

How can ethanol show up on a alcohol urine test if there was no alcohol or medication or drugs taken?
The subject tested has diabetes. The metabolism of starch creates ethanol in the blood and also causes a detectable level of acetone on the breath. (detected by breathalyzer)
How long would it take for one can of odouls to not show up on a breathalyzer do to the minimum amount of alcohol?
Theoretically, the amount of alcohol in a non-alcoholic beer (actually such beers must contain less than one-half of one percent alcohol) should be metabolized in fewer than ten minutes. Therefore, the consumer's breath should register for no alcohol on an alcohol breath test after that period of time has elapsed.

If you have a glass of wine with dinner will it show on a breathalyzer?
Depends on how fast you metabolize alcohol and how big the glass is, but usually a human will metabolize it at the rate of 1 oz. per hour. Assuming the wine is a standard 12% ABV, then for a normal glass I'd say about 1 to 11/2 hour.
