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.
