There is a general rule that you can safely consume one drink per hour, and that your body will eliminate one drink per hour. I generally agree with this concept, and take it one step farther and suggest one drink per hour, with a glass of water between alcoholic drinks. I also caution that you cant sit around for ten hours having one drink per hour, do not do this. I dont suggest more than three drinks in a three hour period with a glass of water inbetween. This tip has to do with whether you drink on an empty stomach. Most people have heard that they can get a better "buzz" by drinking on an empty stomach. There is good science behind this idea, when you have food in your stomach and consume alcohol, such as having a drink with a meal, the food in your stomach may absorb some of the alcohol and your body will thus not absorb as much. Conversely if you drink on an empty stomach your body will absorb much more of the alcohol placing it into your blood stream. I always advise against drinking on an empty stomach. Be careful however because drinking along with food may result in a delayed absorption of the alcohol, as the food passes thorough your system, you will likely absorb the alcohol, but it will be delayed. So you might not realize you have consumed as much alcohol as you did when you are also eating food.
