Exactly.....basically it's saying that the shit's broken down and you breathe and pee it out. That's why drunks always have a strong smell of alcohol on them. It also seeps out of your pores

But yeah, it takes like 2 hours per drink (give or take depending on metabolism). And this process starts as soon as you start drinking. The reason you get the whoozy feeling while drinking is because your liver cannot process the alcohol fast enough
