Question 4790
Alcohol disappears from the blood...
- very slowly, being completely eliminated several hours after drinking it.
- quickly, being completely eliminated one hour after drinking it.
- immediately after drinking it, through sweat and urine.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: very slowly, being completely eliminated several hours after drinking it.
Your liver eliminates almost all the alcohol at a slow, nearly fixed rate of about 0.12 g/l per hour. That is why it takes several hours to disappear from your blood. Very little leaves through sweat and urine.
