Hot coffee to get sober


Trigger Mike

Recommended Posts

Whether the movie stagecoach or gunsmoke or other westerns, whenever someone is drunk that they need to be sober they take hot coffee off the stove and pour it down his throat.   I cringe every time,  as I prefer my coffee cooled down if I am to drink it fast.

Yeah, well, hot or cold all you have is a wide awake drunk. :D

 

Scientific FACT.  A lot of people believe that by drinking lots of coffee they can sober up, but our biology doesn't work that way.  The body metabolizes alcohol and we can't really speed it up.

98% of ingested alcohol is processed and eliminated by the liver.  Coffee don't make the liver act faster.  

 

The other 2% is eliminated by breath, urine and feces.

Obviously, caffeine in the coffee does cause someone to wake up a little more. Alcohol tends to put people to sleep. Whether they’re drunk or not doesn’t matter, but it usually helps in handling a drunk that they be awake.

you can get caffeine in your system with other means, such as Coca-Cola, tea, and by taking a couple of “wake up“ tablets from the drugstore, which have caffeine in them.

Howdy,

Yes She drove me to drink, and I never wrote to thank her.

To sober up breathe a lot of fresh air, and yes, puke if you like.

A real friend is someone who will hold your hair out of the way while you puke.

Best

Here's to ya....
