Facts About Getting Sober Time is the only thing gets a person sober. Coffee, cold showers, water or foods don't work.
Alcohol eliminated from a person's body at the rate of .015 per hour.
The average DUI offender's alcohol level is .150. At that level, it will take 10 hours to completely eliminate the alcohol from the body. Food and gender are two factors that influence the rate at which alcohol is eliminated from a person's body.
Alcohol is absorbed into the bloodstream at a slower rate when food is present in the stomach.
Women absorb alcohol at a faster rate than men because their bodies contain less water.
Women also eliminate alcohol at a slower rate than men. The enzyme that is responsible for breaking down alcohol is produced at a slower rate in women's bodies.
Consequently, with all things being equal, a woman's alcohol level will be higher than a man's even if they have consumed the same amount of alcohol.
However, food or gender do not alter the amount of alcohol that is ingested.
