Recognizing IntoxicationQuestion 36 of 80
Which statement about coffee, cold showers, or fresh air and sobering up is correct?
a.Coffee lowers BAC quickly
b.A cold shower removes alcohol from the blood
c.Fresh air processes alcohol faster
d.Only time allows the body to reduce BAC; these methods do not speed it up
Explanation
Only the passage of time lets the liver metabolize alcohol and lower BAC. Coffee, cold showers, and fresh air may make a person feel more alert but do not reduce actual impairment. A guest may still be legally intoxicated even after these measures.
