Car permit · Alcohol and drugs
After a single drink, about how long does the average person's body take to eliminate the alcohol?
Correct answer: 60 minutes.
Answer options
- A60 minutes Correct
- B15 minutes
- C30 minutes
Why
The body works through roughly one drink's worth of alcohol per hour, and nothing can hurry that process. Drinking coffee or water, or eating something, will not lower your BAC any faster.
