The liver can oxidize about 1 gram or 0.035 ounces of alcohol per hour, which is roughly equivalent to one standard drink. Individual metabolism rates can vary based on factors like gender, weight, and genetic makeup.

It depends on the individual. Females can metabolise less alcohol than males. 1 unit per hour for females, males can start with an extra drink but then work on one unit per hour. A unit is a standard glass of wine, a nip of spirits ...
No
The amount found in standard servings of beer, wine and liquor (.06 oz).
No. A healthy male liver can handle about .6 ounces per hour; a female, slightly less.
depends on what the alcohol is. the percentage of alcohol is printed on the bottle, so if you drink a one ounce shot of bacardi 151, the amount of alcohol is .755 ounces. Say a beer is twelve ounces with an alcohol percentage of 5.5 percent means there are .66 ounces.
It takes the liver approximately one hour to metabolise one ounce of alcohol. It would take approximately 6 hours to eliminate 6 ounces of alcohol.
The average body oxidizes the standard drink at around 3/4 a drink per hour.
The body does not actually "oxidize" alcohol, it absorbs and processes it. The rate at which a person can absorb alcohol is really contingent upon the health of their liver. A healthy liver can process about a half and ounce of pure alcohol (ethanol) per hour. That equals about a 12oz beer, a 5oz glass of wine, or 1.5 oz of 40 proof liquor. A diseased or poorly functioning liver processes less per hour. While the liver is busy processing as much alcohol as it can, the rest circulates through the body and brain. The more alcohol a person drinks above the .5 oz per hour, the more intoxicated they become. The more intoxicated a person becomes, the higher their risk for alcohol related problems. Because most livers function at about the same speed, a person's size merely determines the area that the alcohol has to move through while waiting for the liver. A smaller person has less mass, so the alcohol that hasn't been processed yet is more concentrated. A larger person has more mass, so the alcohol in the system is less concentrated. Smaller people typically feel the effects of alcohol sooner than a larger person.
