Question 7807
While a person is asleep, alcohol is eliminated from the human body...
- faster than when they are awake.
- at the same rate as when they are awake.
- more slowly than when they are awake.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: more slowly than when they are awake.
More slowly. During sleep, your body works more slowly, and alcohol takes longer to leave your system. That is why, after drinking heavily at night, you can still test positive in the morning, even if you have slept for eight hours.
