Florida Drug and Alcohol Traffic Awareness TSLAE Practice Exam

How quickly does the average body eliminate one 'drink'?

1. One drink per hour

2. Two drinks per hour

3. One drink every two hours

4. It varies greatly from person to person

The correct answer is: One drink per hour

The average body eliminates each drink at a rate of one drink per hour, which is about the time it takes for a person's liver to process one standard alcoholic drink. This rate applies to all types of drinks, whether it is beer, wine, or hard liquor. Option B is incorrect because the body does not eliminate two drinks in one hour, as this can be harmful to one's health. Option C is incorrect because it suggests that the body eliminates one drink every two hours, which is a slower rate than the correct answer. Option D is incorrect because while the rate of elimination may vary slightly from person to person, it is generally accepted that the average body eliminates one drink per hour.
