  1. Nope. It'll make you feel a bit better, but doesn't make you more capable (of driving, operating machines ,etc) and won't reduce your blood alcohol.

    It's good for getting over a hangover.


  2. No. The only thing that can sober you up is time. And water.

  3. Cops usually sober me up.  Coffee makes me a wide awake drunk.

  4. I think the caffeine only counters the depressant effects of the alcohol. So you'd still be likely to kill someone on the road, but with more gusto.

  5. No Coffee or other Caffeinated beverages or pill do nothing to speed up the process of detoxification form alcohol only time will eliminated the alcohol. In fact lack of water slows down the process.

  6. no, it will just keep you hydrated and keep you awake to sober up.  But it won't sober you up.

  7. no, i dont think so..only time..

  8. no

    it will only make you a wide awake drunk

  9. No. Coffee will make your reaction time a bit faster, but it in no way takes alcohol out of your system. It only makes you FEEL less drunk.

  10. No.  It just gives you a little bump of caffeine.  Hydration and time are what sobers you up.  The coffee just tricks you into thinking that you aren't drunk.

  11. no maybe more aware and alert

  12. no. its just mind over matter. its been proven that this is a myth

  13. No, you'll just end up drunk, and buzzed on caffeine.
