Sam had three beers at a party and wants to drive home soon. Which of these will actually lower the alcohol level in Sam's blood?
Correct answer: Waiting, since the body gets rid of about one drink each hour
Why
After three beers, Sam would need about three hours for the body to clear the alcohol. Specialty drinks can hold as much alcohol as several normal drinks, so they take even longer. The safest plan is to decide before the party: use a designated driver, a cab or public transportation.
