It's far more often stored in a word, so 32-64 bytes, depending on the target architecture. At least in most languages.

No it isn't. All statically typed languages I know of use a byte. Which languages store it in an entire 32 bits? That would be unnecessarily wasteful.
-
It's not wasteful, it's faster. You can't read one byte, you can only read one word. Every decent compiler will turn booleans into words.
