Answer:

it takes about an hour

Step-by-step explanation:

On average, it takes about an hour for a person to metabolize around 14 grams of pure ethanol—the amount of alcohol contained in one standard drink—which amounts to roughly 12 ounces of 5% ABV beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80 proof liquor.

Several factors influence the rate at which alcohol is absorbed into the bloodstream. For example, food in the stomach slows gastric emptying and alcohol absorption.
