Explanation
It takes an average person about one hour to process the alcohol in a single drink. To drink responsibly, avoid consuming more than one drink per hour, as drinking more may raise your BAC above the legal limit. However, the "one drink per hour" rule doesn’t apply to everyone, as factors like body weight and individual body chemistry can affect alcohol processing.
