The Real Deal: How Long Does Alcohol Linger in Your System?

Alcohol addiction and alcoholism are actually one and the same. It is now widely believed that the drinking problem is a disease, like all diseases, which can affect your both physical or mental health, which can also lead to a lack of energy and social problems and difficulty managing responsibilities.
Ever wondered how long alcohol really sticks around in your body? This episode of the 'Addictionaide' podcast breaks it all down for you. It dives into the nitty-gritty of how alcohol is metabolized and how different factors like age, gender, metabolism, and even what you had for dinner can influence this process. Did you know that on average, it takes about an hour for your body to process one unit of alcohol?
And that it could take up to 5.5 hours to break down enough to be under the legal driving limit? The episode also touches on some surprising points, like how beer might lower your risk of heart disease and blood pressure. Whether you're a daily drinker or someone who binges occasionally, you'll find useful insights here. Plus, it talks about how long alcohol can be detected in your urine—spoiler alert: it varies!
Tune in for an informative and eye-opening discussion that covers everything from the physical effects of alcohol to its impact on mental health. Perfect for anyone curious about the science behind drinking and those on a journey to better understand addiction.
