Can you dilute alcohol in the system by drinking water twenty four hours later?
No, on two reasons. 1.) Your body metabolises 1 unit of alcohol an hour. 1 unit is equivalent to one measure of spirits or half a pint of beer. By the time 24 hours hours has passed, most of the alcohol will have already been metabolised in your body, unless you drank more than 24 units. 2.) Drinking water does not affect the rate of alcohol breakdown at all. The only thing it will serve to do is to reduce the risk of dehydration if water is consumed as you drink alcohol.
