Individuals eliminate alcohol from their bodies at an approximate rate of __________.

The elimination rate of alcohol from the body is generally accepted to be approximately 0.015 Blood Alcohol Level (BAL) per hour. This means that for most individuals, their body metabolizes and removes alcohol at this consistent rate. This rate can vary based on factors such as body weight, metabolism, age, and overall health, but 0.015 BAL per hour is a commonly used average in educational materials and official guidelines.

The other options reflect incorrect rates; 0.05 BAL per hour and 0.08 BAL per hour are actual Blood Alcohol Concentration levels that are associated with impairment and legal limits for driving in many states, rather than elimination rates. The focus for individuals learning about alcohol consumption and driving safety is understanding how long alcohol remains in the system and how it affects one's ability to operate a vehicle safely.
