How Long After Drinking Is It Safe to Train? The Pharmacology Most Athletes Get Wrong.
The body eliminates alcohol at approximately 0.015% BAC per hour — a fixed enzymatic ceiling that caffeine, water, exercise, and sleep cannot accelerate. Understanding the Widmark elimination model tells an athlete exactly when their physiology is ready to train again.
