** 1. alcohol leaves the body in two ways: . 10% through breath,perspiration and urine. . 90% through metabolism i.e. on average, one unit [10ml or 8gm] of alcohol requires 1 hour to break down.
2. keep in mind that you can’t speed up metabolism of alcohol only time will do that thus folklore measures like drinking coffee, exercising or taking showers have no effect on alcohol metabolism.
3. since beer contains: 250ml = 10gm of alcohol and standard bottle is of 750 ml which means consuming 4 bottles of beer, roughly adds up to 120 gm of alcohol which means it will take 15 hours for alcohol metabolism, but make sure not to take any alcohol beverage in between and don't participate in any chugging contest or drinking games.
