Myths about sobering up fast
You’ve probably heard most of them before. DIY methods for sobering up quickly are everywhere. But which ones actually work?
The short answer is none of them.
You might be able to make yourself feel better or look better. But only time will lower your blood alcohol level.
When you’re drunk, alcohol has accumulated in your bloodstream because your liver hasn’t had time to process and break it down yet.
Blood alcohol level is measured by the weight of alcohol in a certain volume of blood. The result of this measurement is called blood alcohol concentration, or BAC.
It’s illegal in every U.S. state to drive with a BAC of 0.08 or higher.
Trying to sober up fast for driving isn’t a good idea. Your BAC will remain high until your liver has time to process the alcohol and get it out of your blood. You could be pulled over and charged with drunk driving or, worse, get into a serious car accident harming yourself or others.
An estimated 29 people in the United States die every day in alcohol-related car accidents — that’s one person every 50 minutes.
