Zero-order kinetics means that drug molecules are cleared at a constant rate regardless of drug concentration. Ethyl alcohol is one drug that is eliminated by zero-order kinetics when administered in high doses. 0 ounce of 100-proof alcohol per hour. 8 First-order kinetics of drug clearance Exponential elimination of drug from the blood occurs when clearance during a fixed time interval is always 50% of the drug remaining in blood.
