How is the liver's work to remove alcohol described?

• A. It takes two hours for every drink you have
• B. It depends on weight
• C. It happens instantly after drinking
• D. For every drink you have

Answer: (D)

The liver processes alcohol at a steady, per-drink pace. Each drink adds work for the liver, so the amount of alcohol in your system depends on how many drinks you’ve had. This means it’s not instant, and it’s not a fixed two-hour block per drink, nor is it simply determined by weight in this context. Describing the liver’s work as “for every drink you have” captures the idea that the body handles alcohol progressively, one drink at a time, and more drinks mean more time needed to clear it.
