Explanation
The only method to reduce your BAC is not to drink over a period of time. On average, the human body typically metabolizes and eliminates approximately one drink of alcohol per hour. This means that after consuming one alcoholic beverage, it takes about one hour for the body to process and remove the alcohol from the bloodstream.
