A common myth is that hot coffee or a cold shower can help someone sober up. Especially if they need to drive home. However, according to MADD, time is the only factor in helping a person sober up. Alcohol is a water-soluble drug. For your body to no longer be inebriated, your body needs time to flush out those toxins.
