Your liver will burn up the alcohol at the rate of 1 drink per hour- unless you are a heavy drinker (then it would burn 2 drinks per hour). However, what a blood test will pick up on is a particular metabolite of alcohol. This takes longer to clear, and the time that it takes to pass will vary based on your unique metabolism and how heavy a drinker you are. It will vary from 24 hours to 3-5 days. If you drank 2-3 weeks ago and haven't since, you are likely to be fine.
