On average, the human body can metabolize about one standard drink per hour. A standard drink is typically defined as containing approximately 14 grams of pure alcohol, which is roughly equivalent to:

- 12 ounces of beer (about 5% alcohol by volume)
- 5 ounces of wine (about 12% alcohol by volume)
- 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits (about 40% alcohol by volume)

Therefore, the average person can metabolize about 1 beer (assuming it's a standard beer) in one hour. Thus, the correct answer from your options is **1 beer**.
