if its a small amount 24 hours if its a full on binge it can take 3_4 days to leave the cells. but if breatherlised either way it would not register after 24 hours it would only show in bloods

72 hours to totally get it out of your system. After that, you shouldn't have to ask this question again! Best Wishes.

I might not feel drunk or hungover after 72 hours, but persistent alcohol use caused elevated anxiety, irritability, and depression for months after I quit.

Some people also did permanent physical damage to their vital organs. Not to mention the lifetime of regrets some of us get to enjoy.

The duration of drunkenness and hangovers ain't even half the story for most of the members here.

Very good point. I had PAWS for six months.

I used to use something similar to check how many more drinks I could have before I would be over the limit in the morning for the drive to work!!

Glad to have put all that craziness in the past!! :)
