On average, how long does it take an adult's body to break down one alcoholic drink?
Correct answer: About 1 hour.
Answer options
- AAbout 1 hour Correct
- BAbout 3 hours
- CAbout 30 minutes
Why
An adult's liver works through roughly one standard drink an hour, and nothing can make it go faster. If drinks come faster than that, the extra alcohol builds up in the blood, raising BAC and further dulling the judgment and coordination a rider needs.
