How long does it normally take to process one 12-ounce beer from your system?
Darina [25.2K]

Once the alcohol goes into our system, an ounce of it is process for a period of one hour.

The first stop happens in the stomach where absorption through the gastric lining and bloodstream occurs. Stronger drinks are absorbed more quickly. The second stop happens in the brain where its function decreases/ is increasingly impaired as the BAC or blood alcohol content grows. The third stop will be in the heart. However, it should be noted that it does not receive any physical alcohol, but its effects on the heart are strong. Alcohol is a vasodilator which means it causes blood vessels to dilate. This indicates more blood flow through the body-- but lowers the overall blood pressure. The fourth stop will be in the kidneys where blood is filtered. The fifth stop will be in the bladder where it will excreted from the body. Lastly, the liver is where the rest of alcohol left in your system is broken down. This process is known as metabolizing. The chemical that remains after metabolization is acetaldehyde and the body gets rid it by further metabolizing it into carbon dioxide and water.

Therefore, an ounce of alcohol is processed in our body for 60 minutes or one hour.

Vitamin C is required to produce the collagen present in the extracellular matrix.

<h2>Vitamin C</h2>

Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a vitamin that dissolves in water and can be found in citrus and vegetables. Vitamin C is key to preventing and treating scurvy, which is a disease that occurs from Vitamin C deficiency (most of the time due to malnutrition or severe alcoholism); the first symptoms of scurvy are weakness and fatigue, but if it does not get treated properly, it can progress to anemia, hemorrhage, periodontitis, changes in personality, and finally death.

Vitamin C is a necessary element for tissue healing, collagen synthesis, and neurotransmitter enzymatic production. It is vital for immune system function and is necessary for the functioning of numerous enzymes. It has antioxidant properties as well.
