Alcohol is something that is kind of an acquired taste and not everyone appreciates it or uses it properly. A lot of people I know tend to just abuse the heck out of Alcohol just to get high and leave everything to the chance of what happens next. But I try things differently as I believe there are a lot of factors contributing to how Alcohol diffuses into your Bloodstream and not everything is determined by just how much you have drank.
For example, the Weather of the Day plays a key role as to how drunk you will be or how less drunk you will get. I speak this from experience as there have been days when I have literally drank over 3 dozen beers and still be cool as a cucumber and at the same time I also got heavily drunk one time with just a single bottle of beer. So yeah Weather and Atmosphere definitely play a role as to how drunk you get on a particular day.
Another thing that plays a critical role in how drunk you get is the choice of your Drink. If you opt for Cocktails then chances are that the Alcohol will be more potent in your Blood than if you simply have something plain and simple so yeah if you like to have Cocktails the effects of drowsiness may last longer than usual. I personally like to have Cocktails so yeah I am pretty well-versed in these theatrics if you may ask.
But if you ask me how long alcohol stays in your system then I would say like 6-12 hours but depending upon other factors it may extend upwards around 24 hours where you may feel drowsy for the entire day and you keep forgetting things to do.
