I’ll just have one more quick drink, and I’ll still be fine. Don’t fool yourself, as a small “hard liquor” drink like a martini, does is packs a pretty hefty punch when it comes to inebriation. Just even having 2 drinks can at times cause you to get drunk enough, to be hungover the next morning, depending on your condition.

1 – Drinking Coffee Will Sober Me Up
What’s often thought is chasing strong coffee after a few rounds of stiff drinks, will instantly perk and sober you up quickly, so you can drive straight home, or go to work clear headed the next morning. What’s known is caffeine is completely ineffective, if you’re hoping to eliminate or absorb alcohol out of your system.
All what coffee does is just dehydrates you further, making the after affects of the morning after the night before, even worse, such as contributing to a pounding headache. The best way of altering the dehydrating effects of alcohol, is by drinking a large glass of water, or an electrolyte loaded beverage before going to bed.
