Alcohol, Drugs & DUI Penalties

The only thing that reliably lowers a person's BAC and restores sobriety is:

  • A.Drinking strong coffee
  • B.Taking a cold shower
  • C.Time — waiting for the body to process the alcohol
  • D.Eating a large meal after drinking
Correct answer

C. Time — waiting for the body to process the alcohol

Why

Coffee, food, and cold air may make a person feel more alert but do not speed up alcohol elimination. Only time lowers BAC.
