How long is alcohol in your blood stream?

I had at least four beers about, 30 hours ago. I'm going to the doctor today and I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to get my blood drawn.


Another fallowup question if anyone knows is if they are drawing it for medical purposes not relating to alcohol (most likely nutrient count,etc.), will they test for alcohol as well?How long is alcohol in your blood stream?
I say around or a little more over 24 hours and it depends what beer it was because some beers have more or less alcohol levels in them.How long is alcohol in your blood stream?
It takes your body around 1 hour to process 1 Unit of Alcohol, so that's about half a pint of beer or one 25 ml shot or 2/3 of a 125 ml glass of wine. That number is for people with a healthy liver. For others, it may take longer.





Alcohol is metabolized at the rate of .015 of blood alcohol concentration (BAC) every hour. 1 Thus a person with a very high BAC of .15 will have no measurable alcohol in the bloodstream after ten hours (.15 divided by .015 = 10). Here are some other examples:





BAC Level Metabolism Time in Hours


.10 6.66


.08 5.33


.05 3.33


.02 1.33
First question:


8 hours





Second question:


No
It depends on your height and weight along with factors such as how hydrated you are. The more water you drink, the quicker it will flush out your system. Alcohol affects literally every organ in your body. Your liver is processing the alcohol even as we speak and your kidneys are doing the dirty work of filtering- I highly doubt that ';they'; will test for alcohol unless you are on parole or otherwise have been informed that they are doing as such. Alcohol will affect nutrient content if that is what they are testing for-because alcohol affects your blood sugar so adversely, and will affect the absorbtion of sugars, protien in urine, etc etc. I don' t see why you are so worried. Unless of course your underage. Simply tell the phlebotomist ( the nurse that draws your blood) and the doctor you have had consumption of alcohol in the previous 48 hours. They will either give the go ahead or, reschedule. good luck, kid.
