Love it when pissed, its like the after-dinner effect when youve had a gutfull. And you know it wont sstop you ssssleeping.

Coffee wont sober you up.....but I lose my taste for it when hung over. Problem is, you know you need it .....

What if you get in early........

Whether they thank you for it is another story

If they are drunk enough to start with you can get them to drink it.
After all it cant taste much worse than standard cafe coffee.

Re: Drinking coffee will not sober you up when drunk

If theres still alcohol in your stomach (therefore not yet absorbed into yourbloodstream),

It also depends if theres food in there as well.
Stomach + food = delayed entry of alcohol into the blood stream. You may be able to make someone throw up prior to the alcohol getting into their system. Whether they thank you for it is another story .
No food = super quick path for alcohol into the blood.

It can help but theres a trick to it.
It wont sober you up but can help stop you from getting more drunk.
If theres still alcohol in your stomach (therefore not yet absorbed into your  bloodstream), a good Samaritan might lace your coffee with a handful of salt, making you throw up.
If you do throw up, youll actually sober up quicker because you wont get drunker first.

I could have told them that for free. The only thing that sobers you up is time.

coffee is magic but not that magic..

Reaching for a mug of coffee may be the worst thing you can to do to try to sober up, a study suggests.

Research on mice indicates the drink may make you feel that you are coming to your senses - but it is only an illusion.

In fact, it makes it harder for people to realise they are under the influence of alcohol.
