You can only know definitely that you are clear if you have a blood test, or, if there has been a sufficiently long period of time since you last had an alcoholic intake (don't forget it can appear in trifles, cakes and mince pies at this time of year) The 1 unit per hour is a very good guide but is only an approximation, it may take longer, especially if you are dehydrated and / or have not eaten for some time.
