Explanation
It takes the body approximately one hour to metabolize the alcohol from one 12oz beer. It is important to note that it is not the type of alcohol that affects your driving ability, but rather the amount of alcohol consumed. Each drink consumed within an hour increases the Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) level. The higher the BAC, the more impaired your driving ability.
