After a party, a friend who drank several beers says that strong coffee and a cold shower will make him fine to drive. What is true?
Correct answer: Only time lowers the alcohol level, at least one hour for each drink.
Why
The body removes alcohol slowly, and the manual says it takes at least one hour for each drink. Coffee, a cold shower or exercise may make a person feel more awake, but they do not lower the blood alcohol concentration or its effects on judgment, vision and reaction time. After several drinks, it may take several hours before it is safe to drive, so plan ahead with a designated driver or a safe ride.
