TIME SOBERS YOU UP
Remember, everyone's BAC rises at different rates; however everyone sobers up at approximately the same rate. A cold shower, coffee, food, exercise or medicine will not sober a person up faster.
If you go to bed at 2 a.m. with a BAC of .20%, let's take a look at the next 14 hours:
| Time | Activity | BAC | | 2 am | in bed, lightheaded and confused | .200 | | 3 am | nauseous, unable to sleep | .185 | | 4 am | very restless | .170 | | 5 am | sleeping, but not well | .155 | | 6 am | sleep | .140 | | 7 am | getting ready for class | .125 | | 8 am | drive to class | .110 | | 9 am | in class - trouble focusing | .095 | | 10 am | judgment still impaired | .080 | | 11 am | mind still hazy, tired | .065 | | Noon | not hungry, cottonmouth | .050 | | 1 pm | in afternoon class - still unfocused | .035 | | 2 pm | head clearing | .020 | | 3 pm | feeling a little better | .005 | | 4 pm | sober at last, but not fully recovered | .000 |
