Many people drink alcoholic beverages during celebrations or friendly gatherings. However, it is always necessary to know the measure and not to go overboard during the celebration. After all, as you know, there are no safe doses of alcohol.
How long does it take for all the alcohol to come out?
As reported by "Glavred" publication with reference to experts, one of the key factors is the amount and strength of alcohol consumed. The stronger the drink, the more time the body needs to eliminate it.
Body weight also matters. People with a lot of weight get drunk more slowly, and the removal of alcohol from their body occurs faster. With age, the metabolism slows down, which can increase the time it takes to eliminate alcohol.
In addition, alcohol in men leaves the body faster than in women. Eating food before or during alcohol consumption can also slow down its absorption and therefore prolong its elimination time.
How long does alcohol last?
Wine. 100 ml of the drink will evaporate from the body in about 1,5 hours. If the dose is increased to 500 ml, you need to wait 7,5-8 hours for complete elimination. On average, one bottle of wine is produced in 10-12 hours.
Beer. When drinking 500 ml of beer, its concentration will decrease to 0 after 2-3 hours. 1 liter will come out completely in 4-5 hours, and 1,5 liters - in 7.
Vodka. Alcohol from 100 ml of drink will leave the body after about 4 hours. It will take at least a day to drain 500 ml of vodka.
Whiskey. Among spirits, whiskey weathers the longest. 500 ml of drink leaves the body after 31 hours.
What removes alcohol from the blood well
There are ways to help the body get rid of alcohol faster. They do not remove alcohol completely, but they can speed up the process of its removal:
Quality sleep. The detoxification process will be more effective with good rest, which will help the body recover and gain strength.
A large amount of water. Drinking a lot of liquid accelerates the process of alcohol excretion through urine. Water dilutes the blood and reduces the concentration of ethanol.
Vitamins and minerals. Food with a large amount of vitamins and minerals replenishes the supply of nutrients in the body and accelerates the detoxification process. Particular attention should be paid to vitamins C and B.
Sports. Physical exercises help to speed up the metabolism and improve blood circulation, which contributes to the faster elimination of alcohol.
Sorbents. Activated charcoal and its analogues slow down the absorption of alcohol into the blood, so it is recommended to take it before or during a feast to relieve a hangover.
It is important to remember that alcoholic beverages have a negative effect on a person, regardless of how many ppm of ethanol are found in the blood.
