How much alcohol can the liver metabolize in an hour?

From what I have read while managing my PCOS, the liver processes about 10-12 grams of alcohol per hour. Since hormone issues make liver metabolism a bit more sensitive, I personally prefer to avoid alcohol entirely to stay on the safer side.

It is generally one standard drink per hour. Honestly, instead of pushing the limit, it is much cheaper to plan and get a basic Liver Function Test (LFT) done yearly for 500-800 rupees to make sure everything is running fine.

I used to drink heavily in my twenties, but my physician clearly told me that the human body can only metabolize roughly one standard drink per hour. Exceeding that just leaves the extra alcohol circulating in your bloodstream, which causes the hangover.

My doctor warned me that my blood pressure spikes if I drink too much because the liver only clears about one drink an hour. If you drink, please monitor your BP and get your routine lipid and liver checkups done regularly.

I was actually reading about this for a biology quiz. It turns out the liver metabolizes about 0.015% of blood alcohol concentration per hour, which is roughly one small glass of wine. Quite fascinating how hard our organs work!

Bro, it takes roughly an hour for one pint of beer or a shot to clear out. If you chug three drinks in an hour, your liver is going to fall behind and you will feel miserable the next morning. Just space them out.
