Here is the regulation:


--- Quote ---019.04 A permit holder shall not carry a concealed handgun while consuming alcohol or while there is any previously consumed alcohol or controlled substance as defined in Nebraska Revised Statutes § 28-401 of the statutes in his or her blood, urine, or breath unless the controlled substance was lawfully obtained and taken in therapeutically prescribed amounts.

No mention of carrying openly

OnTheFly:
Is it really 10 hours?  According to Wikipedia (if you can trust them), one drink (one beer for example) will give a 180 pound male a Blood Alcohol Percentage of 0.02%.  A note at the bottom of the page states


--- Quote ---Subtract approximately 0.01 every 40 minutes after drinking.

So after about one and a half hours, wouldn't you be back to 0%?

It doesn't really matter too much to me since I don't drink very often, but the 10 hours seemed too long.

10 hours does seem a bit long. These other methods of an hour per drink,  0.01 % every 40 minutes after drinking, etc allude to the decrease in blood alcohol over time being linear which seems like an oversimplification. I would bet the curve is not linear at all.
In the case of the detox center giving a 10 hour timeline I'm sure they are just trying to reduce liability. These other methods are likely just simple ways to help one determine when blood alcohol drops to a "safe" level.

AAllen:
My guess is that alcohol leaves the body similar to how it boils off.  The old saying that if you add alcohol to something cooking that the alcohol is gone immediately is not quite correct.  It actually boils of at about 1/2 of its volume per minute so if you add one shot of liqueur to something cooking it has only half the alcohol after 1 minute, then 1/4 after 2, and 1/8th after 3 etc.  So it has a higher drop in the beginning and slows as time goes on. 

Of course there is also a limit of how low can accurately be tested for in your blood stream as well.

cracked junior:
Search for how long does alcohol stay in your system.    Several websites say 10 hours for one drink.   I thought it was long too.   One place says urine tests can detect it after 80 hours but the test cant show the amount.

I know several people who wont get CHP because of no alcohol.
