Whilst some of us mere mortals do not have access to Blood on tap, I do agree with you TG.  ;D  ;D  Mind you it would a heap of blood to make a difference to the end result.

However have you ever noticed the boys (or girls) in blue hanging around coffee shops on a Saturday morning  :  maybe they are hunting for targets  :-/ One must be Politically correct these days. :-[

I dug up this old string while researching about if coffee sobers you up.

My research shows that coffee taken while you are drunk makes you a more alert drunk while a shower makes you a wet drunk.

BBC - Future - Does coffee really sober you up when drunk?

I got drunk on my least amount of alcohol after having had a fair bit of coffee first.

Always thought coffee & alcohol were a bad mix since that.

Is the thing about cocaine instantly sobering you up an urban myth or true?

[DoubleRistretto]

It is probably just perception. It can't just make the alcohol evaporate out of your bloodstream
