You don't actually go out of ketosis when you drink alcohol, as alcohol is turned into Ketones in the liver and then used as fuel. Your liver is what turns fat into ketones, but alcohol is easier to turn, so your liver takes the easy route (lazy liver!).

Just like the drinking and driving rule, it takes about an hour per drink (to burn up in your body). So four beers = four hours.
