Question 4241
Approximately when does the amount of alcohol in the blood start to decrease?
- Fifteen minutes after you stop drinking.
- As soon as you stop drinking.

Correct answer: One hour after you stop drinking.
When you stop drinking, your alcohol level keeps rising for a while because alcohol is still entering your blood. It peaks between 30 and 90 minutes after drinking and starts to fall very slowly after about an hour.
