Sam wants to know why I say it can take up to 10 days for alcohol to leave the body when she’s heard that the liver metabolizes more than ounce of alcohol per hour. She experienced the 10 days because that's how long it took for her withdrawal symptoms to end. Why is that if it’s been said that it takes 1 hour to process one unit? Did I experience withdrawals without having any alcohol in my body?

It’s true that alcohol metabolizes through the liver. That's how long the liver takes to detox it from your bloodstream. When you're intoxicated so your mind is impaired your liver detoxifies it from your bloodstream and metabolizes it so it longer impairs your mind. Now you're no longer drunk and that's why it's so prevalent. One unit per hour is how long it takes until you can drive again or until you're not drunk. That is really just about intoxication and not about how long it takes alcohol to leave the body.
