How long does it take for consumed alcohol to leave your body?

Answer:
Alcohol is metabolized at the rate of about 1 unit (0.6 oz)of pure alcohol per hour. One unit is the amount found in one 12 oz. beer, one standard shot, or one 6 oz. glass of wine. Therefore, a 12-pack would take a minimum of 12 to 15 hours to clear your system, depending on how long it took you to drink it.
