Short-term use of Metoprolol does not have an effect on the rate of alcohol elimination; the additive effects of two CNS depressants could cause drowsiness that might make you feel more intoxicated. Long-term use of Metoprolol, however, does cause BAC to increase faster and decrease slower. The abstract below recommends avoiding Metoprolol in combination with high doses of alcohol.

I've researched for hours and hours. Cannot find any metoprolol tartrate witout lactose. I can only find metoprolol succinate (ie. the slow release form of metoprolol) lactose-free as Toprol XL from Astra Zeneca Pty Ltd.
Eating after drinking does not speed up the removal of alcohol from your system. While food can slow the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream, the liver metabolizes alcohol at a constant rate, regardless of whether you've eaten or not. Therefore, eating may help mitigate the effects of alcohol but won't hasten its elimination.
To speed up the elimination of benzodiazepines from the body, hydration and physical activity may help. Avoiding alcohol and other medications that can slow down metabolism can also facilitate faster elimination. However, it's important to always consult a medical professional before making any changes to medication regimens.
Eating a meal high in fats and proteins before drinking alcohol can slow down its absorption. Additionally, consuming alcohol at a slower pace, staying hydrated, and avoiding carbonated drinks can also help slow down the absorption of alcohol in the body.

To decrease a person's blood alcohol level, the most effective method is time, as the body metabolizes alcohol at a constant rate, typically about one standard drink per hour. Drinking water can help prevent dehydration and alleviate some symptoms of intoxication, but it does not speed up alcohol elimination. Eating food may also slow the absorption of alcohol but will not reduce the existing blood alcohol level. Ultimately, the safest approach is to allow time for the body to process the alcohol.
The reason why intoxicated people drink coffee is not to slow the absorption of alcohol into the body, but to use caffeine as a stimulant, to counteract the depressant effect of alcohol. One drug fights against the other. But no, coffee does not slow the rate of alcohol absorption into the bloodstream.
