• "If I have too much to drink, I can drink a lot
  of coffee to sober up quickly. Right?"Ha. Tell
  us another one! Drinking a lot of coffee after
  drinking too much alcohol may, however, increase
  your discomfort through the need to use the
  bathroom while being transported to the jail on
  DUI charges. Only time reverses impairment.

41

• "Will eating breath mints after drinking fool a
  police 'breath test'?"Eating mints will not
  affect your BAC level since it isn't the smell of
  your breath, but the alcohol content, that's
  measured. Using breath mints, however, may earn
  you points with the arresting officer if you
  normally have bad breath.

42

• "Well, at least eating breath mints might fool
  the officer, right?"Ha. Sure, police are really
  fooled when they see a combination of erratic
  driving behavior and powerfully minty breath.
  Yep, that one fools us every time. Get real.

43

• "I've heard preparing yourself by eating certain
  foods before an evening of heavy drinking will
  help keep your sober. Is that true?"That story
  has been around since before your grandparents
  were born. The only relation we've seen between
  what you eat before drinking and your drunkenness
  is that the more you drink, the more likely we
  are to find what you ate on your shirt, or on the
  floorboard of the patrol car.

44

• "Ok, but if I eat a BIG meal before drinking,
  won't that help keep me from getting drunk?"How
  much you have eaten, and how recently, may have a
  small effect on how quickly or slowly the alcohol
  you consume will enter your bloodstream but it
  won't stop the alcohol from entering. If you
  drink too much, you will become intoxicated.
  There may be, however, a direct correlation
  between the size of your meal and how much of
  your meal may be found later in patrol cars and
  jail cells.

45

• "Will splashing cold water on my face or taking a
  cold shower help sober me up?"Splash away! And
  by all means, take a cold shower. It may make you
  cleaner, but it won't sober you up or make you a
  safe driver. The deputies at the jail, however,
  prefer clean drunks and recommend showering prior
  to doing anything that will lead to your arrest,
  such as driving after you've been drinking.

46

• Will running around the block a few times sober
  me up enough to drive home?"Exercise won't
  sober you up any faster, but feel free to run
  around the block as many times as you like. The
  deputies at the jail ask us to remind you to
  shower after your long run and before you drive a
  car.

47

• "They were serving a spiked punch, but I couldn't
  even taste the alcohol in it. I can't be
  drunk!"Party-goer, beware. Fruit juices have
  the ability to mask the taste of alcohol. A fruit
  "punch" can contain a substantial amount of
  alcohol without the taste of the alcohol being
  noticed but it will make you just as drunk as
  alcohol which you can taste in another kind of
  drink. A mild-tasting cup of punch at a party may
  contain more alcohol than any normal drink you
  would buy at a bar.
