You are out drinking and having a great time with friends when you stumble and fall or begin to slur your words. The typical scenario you might find yourself in, and fortunately for you, there are some time-tested ways to help you sober up.
Drink Water
We recommend drinking a cup of water (240 ml) for every alcoholic drink you consume. So if you have consumed four drinks, then seat yourself at a table and start drinking your four cups of water.
Cook scrambled eggs
Instead of eating heavy, greasy food, try to eat something healthy like scrambled eggs, chicken, milk, fresh juice, or make yourself a turkey sandwich. Despite what you have heard, greasy food cannot soak up the alcohol. But if you don’t have a choice, eating something fatty is better than eating nothing.
NO cold showers
On the contrary, a cold shower may send your body into shock if you are severely intoxicated or have alcohol poisoning.
Limit your coffee intake
Coffee can also add to dehydration. So drinking coffee to sober up may worsen your hangover the next morning.
Interesting Facts
Clear liquor, like vodka and gin, is much more comfortable on your body than dark liquor like whiskey and bourbon.
Things to eat before you drink are pasta, falafel, a burger or sandwich, pizza, milk, ice cream, avocado, or salmon.
