The estimate I always hear is that one beer is demolished by the body
every hour.  It usually takes me about an hour to drink a beer, then I
give it (minimum) half an hour more to work its way out.

Usually, though, I just don't risk it.  My wife drives, and I relax.

The big question is what effect food has on it.  Does drinking a beer in
ten minutes on an empty stomach equal drinking a beer in an hour while
eating a large dinner?
