How many drinks can your liver remove in one hour?
My uncle had some liver issues, which got me thinking about how our bodies process alcohol. Just out of curiosity, how many drinks can your liver typically remove from your system in one hour?

In my experience, the general rule of thumb is about one standard drink per hour. Whenever I go out, I try to pace myself to that limit so I don't feel terrible the next day.

At my age, I have realized the liver can only handle about one drink an hour. There is no point rushing or drinking too fast. Listen to your body and give it rest.

Do not believe those online remedies that claim to speed up alcohol metabolism. The liver's rate is fixed at about one standard drink per hour. If you are concerned about liver function, get a proper LFT done.

I was reading about this yesterday and learned it's roughly one standard drink per hour. It's interesting how gender, weight, and genetics can slightly change this, but the average remains the same.

I totally get it, sometimes we want to know how much our body can handle. It is only about one drink per hour, so please take it easy on your body and drink plenty of water.
