Is a shot of alcohol the same as a measure?

Question about alcohol consumption by someone undergoing dialysis with 2 shot kidneys?

• So, Livers filter and eliminates waste meaning that if someone whose kidneys has failed consumes alcohol it won't be filtered and removed? (Until they go through dialysis?) What I remember from my high school biology days is that dialysis is the diffusion of substances across a semi permeable membrane, meaning some things are filtered and others are not, which is why people who undergo dialysis have a high protein diet, because the protein gets filtered out. Does Dialysis filter out the alcohol? (I would assume so base on the fact that it's a pretty large molecule but I'm not sure.) I'm aware that someone with two shot kidneys should not drink, but I want to know more about the process of kidney-less alcohol consumption before I confront said person. - What happens to the alcohol between the time it's consumed and the time said person goes to dialysis? - Does dialysis filter the alcohol? Thank you for your time and consideration.

• Answer:

  Dialysis don't filter the alcohol out of the blood. That's a fact and yes you shouldn't drink anymore. Your liver can't get rid of it due to your kidneys which are not working, but why you're not asking an doctor about it, he should know it for sure..
