[Closed] How long to get alcohol out the body??

Err on the side of caution and go on the bus

Obviously feel a tiny bit shit today - nervy, tired, cold etc 🙁 No headache though which is a bonus!!

Err on the side of caution and stay in bed 🙂

Thinking thats 40-50 units??

Approximately 1 unit/ hour, the time starting based on the last one sunk in a single setting. Assuming that you've allowed the previous session's effects to run out... Oh, and 8 units in the previous 24 hours before whatever it is that you were intending to do that isn't drink based.

Err on the side of caution and get a transfusion.

Approximately 1 unit/ hour, the time starting based on the last one sunk in a single setting. Assuming that you've allowed the previous session's effects to run out...

really? so if you've had (say) 10 units between 7pm and midnight, you won't be clear til 10am?

I had always calculated that as being 5am 😮

so if i stopped drinking at 11ish on friday - 40-50 hours from there?

so tomorrow morning ish?

Based on guidelines in a railway safety environment - where if there's cause to suspect, its an immediate urine/ blood test and instant dismissal...

I reckon 2015 at the earliest....

aP - that doesn't sound quite right. I don't imagine the human body waits until you've had that last drink before it begins dealing with the ones you've already had? So 1 unit per hour (give or take) but from when you start drinking, not when you stop. IANAD 🙂

so if i stopped drinking at 11ish on friday - 40-50 hours from there?

so tomorrow morning ish?

to 11ish on Sunday would be 48hours, are you still drunk?

but i drank yesterday - that list finished at 8pm last night

If I drank that much in one weekend I would be dead. Thats a fact.

Drink loads of fluids and seek counselling.

over the past weekend?

For arguments sake since Friday night:
Bottle of red
1 pint of beer
2 bottles of prosecco
half a bottle of muled wine
8 measures of sloe gin

Sorry - that is alcoholic.

I thought I had a problem with alcohol. I had: 5 pints of Stout, 3 glasses of red, 3 330ml bottles of Steam ale Fri-Sunday.

but i drank yesterday - that list finished at 8pm last night

so if i stopped drinking at 11ish on friday - 40-50 hours from there?

er I'm confused.

Sorry - that is alcoholic.

I think you mean binge drinking.

Saturday night 1 had 2 bottles of wine and 4 bacardi and cokes and a glass of champagne, from 7pm and finishing at midnight.

I reckon thats about 25 units.

10am sunday I blew a breath tester before driving home (one of the Halfords ones for driving in France, well in date) and it came up completely clear*. Given that Frances limit is less than ours, I reckon that I was gfood to go.

So starting from 9.30 (halfway through drinking) to 10am say 12 hours I processed about 2 units per hour.

Thats my science for the day.

*Note recent press over the accuracy of these things, but it was in date and I followed the instructions.

I think you mean binge drinking.

Unless he needed to do it to get through the day then why is the op an alcoholic?

I assume you have no idea what alcoholism is?

to keep going like that is alcoholic.

Did he say he does it regularly?

If he does it once then it's a binge of drinking. Is that better? Less "nu-media"? 🙄

Reckon it depends on hoe old you are

Young 'un.... short sharp hang overs

Old 'un .... Not so intense but takes days to get over..... I will not be 100% until I wake up wednesday, from a party on saturday night.

Drink loads of fluids and seek counselling

The measures of sloe gin; were these proper pub single-shot measures (in the UK)? Which will be 1 unit per measure.
So a total of 40 units and an absorption rate of 1 per hour.

I thought I had a problem with alcohol.

I can add nothing constructive to this other than on Friday between 3pm and 10pm I consumed:

2 pints Corrs Light (I don't like Corrs)
2 single Morgan Spiced with Coke.
4 single Sailor Jerry with Coke (almost no where sells Sailor Jerry, let along quiet little pubs in rural Wales)
2 double Sailor Jerry with Coke (singles had become 'defective' at this point)
2 Jagermeister Bombs.

Which was frankly revolting of me, it was the first time I'd drank more than 2 alcoholic drinks in one night in almost 12 months to the day since the last office party.

Not even an uplift day at BPW yesterday shifted the hangover that I've still got.

I hate drinking.

I've been waiting for years to get the alcohol out of my body.

Well, if your tolerance is such that you can get through that much in a weekend and are contemplating driving, you might need to ask yourself the old NCADD 20 questions...

Don't believe us, see what the experts think.

[i]singles had become 'defective' at this point[/i]

Was the dispenser for singles broken or do you mean ineffective? 🙂

There's some up tight drama queens on here!

Well, if your tolerance is such that you can get through that much in a weekend and are contemplating driving, you [s]might need to ask yourself the old NCADD 20 questions[/s] are probably in your 20's. Look after yourself and try not to make too much of a habit of it. You'll soon find that hangovers and life in general get in the way of partying anyway

FTFY 🙂

10am sunday I blew a breath tester before driving home

Bet that was a surprise for him!

There's some up tight drama queens on here!

Just maybe they have seen the damage that alcohol abuse can wreak in a family and don't regard it as a laugh.

Back to the OP about this equine-based wine cocktail?

https://ncadd.org/learn-about-alcohol/alcohol-abuse-self-test

Yeah I got a 10 😆

that test is rubbish, "do you normally have an excuse to drink heavily" why is yes a bad answer? Surely going out with mates constitutes an excuse, or i was trying a new beer/wine, felt like it?? Surely NO would be a bad answer..?

[i]Back to the OP about this equine-based wine cocktail? [/i]

Yeh he made a bit of an ass of himself about that one.

I scored a 4 but only because of a couple of badly worded questions - [i]When you’re sober, do you sometimes regret things you did or said while drinking?[/i] Obvs!

that test is rubbish, "do you normally have an excuse to drink heavily" why is yes a bad answer? Surely going out with mates constitutes an excuse, or i was trying a new beer/wine, felt like it?? Surely NO would be a bad answer..?

Agreed! Surely randomly drinking yourself into oblivion for no reason is infinitely worse than "it was my birthday". 😕

4 for me on that test:
Can you handle more alcohol now than when you first started to drink? Yes, you build up alcoholic tolerance, so of course I can handle it better than at first.
Have you ever been unable to remember part of the previous evening, even though your friends say you didn’t pass out? Yep, not for a while and very, very rarely but yes, it has happened.
Do you usually have a reason for the occasions when you drink heavily? Yes. A birthday, a celebration, whatever. As above, surely no would be the worse answer.
Do you ever feel depressed or anxious before, during or after periods of heavy drinking? Yes, a hangover can make me feel a tad melancholy.

You know what, I'm pretty happy with that.

For arguments sake since Friday night:
Bottle of red
1 pint of beer
2 bottles of prosecco
half a bottle of muled wine
8 measures of sloe gin

I can't believe that anyone would consider that level of drinking was that of an alcoholic. Over 3 nights on a weekend that's not a huge amount.

Have the ones calling "alcoholic" ever met a real alky?

I scored 2.

But how does "Can you handle more alcohol now than when you first started to drink?" count the same as "Do you sometimes stay drunk for several days at a time?" or "Are you having more financial, work, school, and/or family problems as a result of
your drinking?"?!

Also, who [i]can't[/i] handle more than when they first started drinking?

Don't forget that "Holier-than-though" week precedes Christmas Week 😉
