Really, really bad information. Alcohol is metabolized by the liver at the rate of approximately 6/10ths of an ounce (14 grams or 17 ml) of pure alcohol per hour on average. (That is roughly the amount of alcohol in one American 12-ounce beer.) Women, and individuals of some ethnic groups, may break it down a bit slower due to lower levels of the enzyme that does most of the work.
There is nothing you can do to make this happen faster. Coffee will not work, and can be dangerous because it can mask the effects of intoxication. You should also know that you may continue to get more drunk after you have stopped drinking, because of residual alcohol in your stomach.
