    How long for alcohol to leave system for a breathalizer test
    I had three brutus coors light beers (Applebees) last night. Last one at 10:30pm. Will I be able to pass a breatholizer (ignition interlock) this morning at 11:00am??

    Not familiar with the term "brutus". Does that relate to size... if so how many ounces?

    There are 20 ounces in a "Brewtus" beer.

    That converts to 5 standard drinks (US)... actually a little less in light beer or about 70g of pure alcohol.

    Figuring elimination at the lowest rate for female (.011 ph) it would take 9 hours for BAC to return to "0"

    That should be the longest.

    Yes. Your BAC drops at the rate of .015 per hour ao even a high BAC of .15 (almost twice the legal limit) would be down to zero in ten hours.
