Well, since (for an average person) it takes 1 hour to get rid of 1 drink from your blood system, it depends on how much they've drunk. If they're completely gone, the best think you can do is make them drink a lot of water, go to the bathroom, and then to bed. But if they're just a little buzzed or only slightly drunk, a good thing to do is splash your face with water, or eat something with a lot of carbohydrates (bread, pasta). However, this does NOT lower you BAC and will NOT make you "okay to drive". Only time can do that, unfortunately.

Above answers are correct. Coffee, cold showers, etc do NOT sober an intoxicated person. The body must have TIME to break down the alcohol.
Also, drink lots of water. This will accomplish two things. First, water will rehydrate your body and second, water will help to flush out the toxins in your body.

The body has to metabolize the chemical used. In the question you ask, it is alcohol.
Different drugs have different time tables of when it leaves the body.
I believe the use of marijuana is 56 days.
Even medication scripted to you via a pharmacy has a half life...meaning before it peaks out and spirals down. By that time, you are taking another dose.
The fairy tails of drinking coffee and you are DRY are so wide spread out there, people actually believe it!
There is an element of time that must be passed.
The weight of person consuming, amount of alcohol content in the drink and the hands on the clock are the only things that can tell you exactly.
If adverse reactions happen, or if the person has a health condition, that throws all the calculations off.
