How long does beer stay in your system?

Magda Vandergriend: Depends on gender, physical size..Alcohol stays in your blood stream regardless of whether or not you urinate. The only way for alcohol to leave your system is time and water consumption. NOT coffee, NOT exercise etc...

Mikel Bethay: In regards to driving RTA NSW recommends not driving for at least 24 hours after drinking, so if the traffic authority recommends it I'd have to say at least 24 hours.for the record peeing, water, coffee, cold showers none of it helps get alcohol out of your system, water replenishes the liquids in your brain that the alcohol strips from you and helps ease a hangover if you have one glass of water which each glass of alcohol you have, however, the other things I mentioned make hangovers worse and as stated do not help get alcohol from your system....Show more

Aubrey Tirri: a general rule of thumb is 1 beer = 1 hour.

Isaias Badgley: Depends on way too many factors and also what you mean by 'staying in your! system'. Do you mean the time before you will pass a breathalizer? Until you are no longer physically intoxicated? Until a blood test will come up negative?

Nia Monopoli: Until you pee. Remember, you don't own beer. You only rent it.

Myriam Hetjonk: This Site Might Help You.RE:How long does beer stay in your system?I weigh 122 and like to have about 5 beers.

Rebbecca Sorkin: Your liver can process 8 ounces of beer per hour. (hope that helps some)

Cliff Jacoby: 8-10 hrs. until your BAC is near zero after your last drink.

Charissa Bichsel: 24 hours at least. Doesn't matter if you are "over the limit" or what a Breathalyzer says, it is still in your system. Drink A Lot of water or something with electrolytes and get some sleep. It's the only way!
