Sobering Up

Question: What’s the best way to sober up?

  1. take a cold shower
  2. drink water
  3. exercise
  4. eat bread
  5. make yourself throw up
  6. drink black coffee

Answer: None of the above! While the above "remedies" may make someone feel better, they do not help someone sober up. The amount of alcohol in the blood is controlled by the metabolic rate of the liver. The only effective thing that will sober someone up is time.

A general guideline: It will take as many hours to sober up as the number of drinks ingested. Keep in mind that even after sleeping overnight, someone can still wake up with a BAC over .08 which makes them unfit to drive.
