Alcohol oxidizes when it gets into the human system; this process occurs at the rate of an ounce in two or three hours. For 100-proof whisky, which is up to fifty per cent alcohol, this would mean that 8 ounces of whisky would be gone from the body in less than 12 hours; most of the alcohol would be breathed away, but some of it would be lost through sweat or urine.
A mere 1-2 servings of alcohol can cause any individual to be over the "legal limit" of alcohol, meaning they would be arrested for a DUI, even if they do not feel or appear to be drunk.
Alcohol is the world�'s third largest risk factor for disease burden; it is the leading risk factor in the Western Pacific and the Americas and the second largest in Europe.
Alcohol increases estrogen levels. Birth control pills or other medicine with estrogen increase intoxication.
