Will Putting Someone In The Shower or Giving Him or Her Coffee Sober Them Up?
Time is the only thing that will sober up a drunk person. Coffee, showers, exercise, sweating it out, fresh air, or any other method will not increase the rate at which alcohol is eliminated from the body. The liver just needs time to metabolize the alcohol.
Is It True That You Have to Wait a Half Hour After Eating To Go Swimming?
There is no medical evidence that supports waiting thirty minutes before getting back in the pool. Digestion begins as soon as you put food in your mouth; however, once it reaches your stomach it takes about four hours to process completely. Then food goes to the small intestine for two hours, then the large intestine for another fourteen hours. These times vary by what you eat. While there is no medical evidence supporting the thirty minutes, blood is diverted from the muscles to the stomach to aid in digestion. During exercise digestion slows down since the blood is then diverted to the muscles. Use your head and listen to the bodys signals. If you feel pain, cramping, or severe fatigue when swimming, get out, and please dont puke in the pool.
